Sure, sure. MIX is mostly all about the great keynotes, sessions, networking, and all the awesome content that is going to make your brain hurt in a good way, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go out for a good time while you’re in Sin City! On this, our last Countdown to MIX10 show, @anyware and @ritzy get advice from THE cocktail evangelist, Robert Hess, who tells us where to find a mean cocktail in Vegas. If we’re not at the conference, you might find us bellied up to a bar somewhere, and if you do, maybe your next round will be on us.  See ya in Vegas!

This is our last show for MIX! Thanks all for your tremendous help!!!

You never know what hijinks are in store when Adam Kinney and John get together. In this episode, Adam makes his theatrical return to Silverlight TV and claims to have filmed the best Expression Blend 3 video ever! Adam demonstrates:

  • sketching with SketchFlow
  • importing images
  • path conversion to elements
  • sample data
  • editing item templates
  • data binding
  • behaviors
  • effects
  • visual states
  • easing

This is a great and very practical demonstration of Blend 3 from the Expression Evangelist himself.
