whitepaper MSDN Webcast: geekSpeak: Going From Developer to 'Dev-igner' With Frank La Vigne (Level 200)2008-08-20 Microsoft
  Yearning to become a "Dev-igner," a developer/designer hybrid? The old clich? is that developers make poor designers, and many developers needlessly tremble at the site of designer tools such as Microsoft Expression or Photoshop. Graphic design is a process, just like software development. If one learns the basics, he or she can soon turn out better user experiences and find inspiration in the world. The presenter of this webcast shares tips and techniques on how technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and XAML can help to retire the "Battleship gray" UIs so often sported by applications. Turtlenecks and berets are optional.
