geekSpeak: Going from Developer to 'Dev-igner'

Are you a developer yearning to become a "dev-igner," a developer/designer hybrid? The old cliché 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 you learn the basics, you can soon turn out better user experiences and find inspiration in the world around you. In this installment of geekSpeak, Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Frank La Vigne shares tips and techniques on how technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and XAML can help you retire the "battleship gray" UIs so often sported by applications. Turtlenecks and berets are optional.
