Silverlight 1.0 RC (Release Candidate) is available!
Please, check the previous post. Nibbles Tutorials will be available in Silverlight 1.0 RC this Monday, July 30th. Or maybe before…

Today Microsoft announced two upgrades that will impact Nibbles Tutorials:
Expression Blend 2 August Preview
and
Silverlight 1.0 RC (Release Candidate)
The Silverlight web site doesn’t have the new RC version up to this date, so if you want to start playing with RC you will have to use the same link above (Blend’s install). The instructions about installing Blend 2 will also show links to Silverlight 1.0 RC. Because of these announcements, I will also update Nibbles Tutorials.
Starting on Monday, July 30th 2007, in order to access Nibbles Tutorials you will need to:
1) Install Silverlight 1.0 RC (Nibbles will not work with Silverlight 1.0 Beta anymore)
2) Install Expression Blend 2 August Preview
You will be able to use Expression Blend 1.0, or Expression Blend 2 May Preview only if you are creating WPF applications. Although, I will update the screen shots and instructions to reflect the new UI in Blend 2 August Preview, so you should update to be able to better follow the tutorial’s steps.
Thanks,

The session Blend & WPF is live! It begins with three nibbles. Two of them are about User Controls and one is about effects (reflection).
http://www.nibblestutorials.net
The first part about User Controls shows how to create something similar to movie clips in Flash. The second part shows how to create a Dependency Property, and expose it in Blend. That means you can change the properties of the User Control just by using Blend’s UI.
The nibble about effects shows how to create an animated reflection. No tutorial about WPF can leave this out

In preparation for ReMIX Brazil this week, I have the pleasure to announce that Nibbles is also available in Portuguese (Brazil). All tutorials available in English are also translated here:

This was possible thanks to the partnership with Marcelo Negrini (www.zazambia.com). Great work, guys!

This is the first tutorial web site that is built 100% using Silverlight 1.0. You can install Silverlight 1.0 Beta here. The first version of nibbles tutorials is in beta version, so please send us your feedback.
The concept of nibbles is simple: snack tutorials for hungry designers. The tutorials will teach a few steps at a time, so they will be short and easy to follow – the perfect creative snack.
For this launch, we have seven nibbles that will teach you basic concepts on how to use Expression Blend to create Silverlight applications. You can learn how to create animations, create your first button, load an external XAML file, and also how to work with Classes in JavaScript.
Pretty soon we will be creating a new section about Blend and WPF – stay tuned with our RSS Feed to receive updates.
Try it out now! Start using nibbles.
