Chapter 1: Adding Silverlight to Your Web Development Toolkit
standards endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It also
contains something called Super Preview, which enables you to see how
pages look in different browsers at design time. Traditionally, designers
have struggled to make their applications look the same across multiple
browsers, and Super Preview allows them to look at these pages side by
side or even overlap each other to observe and fix differences.
✓ Expression Design: This application allows designers to create graphics
and artwork for use in Web and desktop applications. You can even
export these designs into XAML so that they can be used in Silverlight
applications. Figure 1-5 shows Expression Design in action.
✓ Expression Encoder: This application helps in preparing media files
(such as videos and audios) so that they can be used with Silverlight. A
video file being edited in Expression Encoder is shown in Figure 1-6.
