Introducing .toolbox

Question

Hey! Check out .toolbox, a free online training program where designers and developers can learn to create Silverlight applications using Expression Studio and to apply basic UX concepts to their solutions.

I just signed up, created my profile and avatar and I'm ready to start with Design Principles. This looks like great fun! I hope you'll join in.

Share your experiences here.

I can't seem to get a link in my first post. Here's where the .toolbox is: http://www.microsoft.com/design/toolbox/

Answer 2

I can no longer view the tutorials. Just a big white space where the video player should be. Anyone else have this problem/know of a solution?

I can download the tutorials, but that's a bit cumbersome. I don't think it's my Silverlight installation because I can view other web sites using Silverlight. 

Answer 3

MisterZed, are you still experiencing this problem? I'll see if I can get someone over here to help you if you still can't see the videos.

Answer 4

misterZed, I found out that the Silverlight components were down on the .toolbox site for about 36 hours which was probably the time you experienced the problem. The site has been fixed so there should no longer be a problem. Let me know if you have any further problems.

Answer 5

The exercises are fun, but the videos from Robby Ingebretsen are hard to understand. English is not my mother tongue and he speaks with a lisp, that makes very hard to understand what he said.
