Official Release

We would like to announce the official release of our web application prototype, Sprout! For the past twenty weeks we, the Xamlhouse team, have been hard at work exploring Microsoft Expression Studio software and the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in. Sprout, does not mark the end of our journey as interactive designers and developers, but rather the beginning to our careers.

Today we begin our real exploration, but we leave behind our knowledge via our blog, in hopes that it may help others who are designing for, developing for, or just enthusiastic about Silverlight.

Microsoft unveiled the newest versions of Internet Explorer, Silverlight, and the Expression Studio package at their web developer and designer conference MIX08 on March 5.

The new versions include Internet Explorer 8.0, Silverlight 2.0, and Expression Studio 2.0. It is clear that Microsoft is taking steps to improve their Expression applications with this newest release. Developers have been itching for Silverlight 2.0 to launch since late last year when Microsoft announced that it would release the version “early next year”.

All of these new versions are public beta, and available for download now.

Microsoft also announced plans to deliver Silverlight content to Windows Mobile devices with the new release.

Expression Studio 2.0 includes features such as PHP support and a new version of Expression Blend – 2.5.

In addition, Microsoft also introduced the Expression Professional Subscription which allows subscribers to download the entire Expression suite as well as other software to help them get started.
