Event: Remix Essential 2008

Just got news from my MSP manager that Remix Essentials 08 will be held at:

Date	:	27th May 2008
Time	:	9.00am – 1.00pm
Venue	:	Lim Kok Wing University, Cyberjaya

I’ve been hearing “rumours” that Remix 08 will be held at  soon, and I was really looking forward to it.

There will be sessions on stuff like Expression Studio, Windows Live, Silverlight, WPF, and UX. The speakers of these sessions are awesome guys like Leon Brown, Arturo Toledo, Angus Logan, and our resident Silverlight guy, Rohan Thomas.

Unlike the Remix or Mix events of other countries, Remix Essentials 08 is totally free!

On top of that, attendees stand a chance to win a full copy of Expression Studio 2! The seats are limited to a first come first served basis, you’ll definitely not want to miss out, so register right now!

Expression Series 1: Expression Web

 

I believe most of you have already heard about it, Microsoft have not long ago just shipped a new set of tools for designers, which are all included in one awesome suite, the Microsoft Expression Studio, I’ll be posting a writeup on each of the tools within the Expression suite. There are four tools in Expression Studio, here I’m going to summarize their usage, and my thoughts on each one of them, starting with Expression Web.

 

Expression Web 

Tool for creating websites, think of it as a much more advanced Microsoft FrontPage, and with its release, Microsoft are now stopping the Microsoft FrontPage product line, and all future releases for designing on the web will be part of the Expression suite. It’s basically the same as FrontPage, something like a WYSIWYG editor for the web, but unlike FrontPage, Expression Web comes with pretty extensive support for ASP.NET based website, and we’re talking about ASP.NET 2.0 here, allowing users to be more efficient to create rich, interactive and dynamic websites.
