Expression Blend is a great tool for creating Silverlight applications. VIsual Studio is wonderful for coding, but every Silverlight RIA developer should have Blend open as well. Blend 3 only adds to the productivity enhancements.

I've been knee deep in Silverlight lately, (which is why I have not stuck my head up to blog lately) and its all Microsoft's fault. Silverlight 3 has so many great features and the roadmap is looking so promising to me that I have been spending a lot of time wading through the features, some more mature than others, some just a glimpse of what is to come. What does SIlverlight 3 bring to the table? Hear it from someone who knows the leading tools from Adobe and Microsoft inside and out.

Silverlight Fizzling? Flash Thriving? The truth lies somewhere in between.

I am very excited to be in the middle of the next evolution of Silverlight and Flash ... the next few years is likely going to blow the doors off of RIA. I think both of these technologies are going to gain a lot of ground amongst the non-RIA groups and put RIA in the forefront of many people's minds.
