Ebook: Foundation Expression Blend 2: Building Applications in WPF and Silverlight

As the author promises at the beginning of the book, you need to know very little of C# (the brush-up chapter in the book does a good job) and nothing about WPF/Silverlight/Expression Blend to stitch up a few simple interfaces. Diligently working through the examples will give you a good grasp of the fundamental techniques. I found the book to be very helpful - the writing style is clear, the steps are illustrated well - and overall, the book makes learning Expression Blend fun. Highly recommended. I only give it 4/5 stars mainly because there were no advanced projects explored.
