Download Links for Mix08 Technologies
Tim Sneath provided a consolidated list of technologies made available for download during the Mix08 conference. All developers enjoy new software bits and here is his list with a few additions:
- Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1
- Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Runtime
- Silverlight 2 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 and SDK
- Source Code / Unit Tests for Silverlight 2 Controls
- Expression Studio 2 Beta (contains Blend, Design, Encoder, Media and Web)
- Expression Blend 2.5 March 2008 Preview
- Expression DeepZoom Composer
- ASP.NET MVC Preview 2
When a reader asked Tim about which version of Expression Studio to install, his advice:
Here's the deal. Moving forward, Expression Blend 2 contains support for shipping technology: that is, WPF 3.x and Silverlight 1.0. Expression Blend 2.5 is a preview of the next release after Blend 2; it runs side-by-side with Blend 2 and supports WPF 3.x, Silverlight 1.0 and Silverlight 2. You're probably best to install both together - at this point, Blend 2 is more stable than 2.5 as a development environment for WPF and Silverlight 1.0, according to my Blend buddies.
