Ok, so when you’re working with WPF or Silverlight, all the graphics and/or interface elements are in XAML format (or should be, for getting the most out of these technologies).
Currently, Expression Design imports formats such as *.ai (Adobe Illustrator) and export it to XAML. Other graphic editing programs, both 2D and 3D have plugins for exporting to XAML. ZAM3D actually converts most 3D formats to XAML. There is actually a converter that exports XAML from SWF (yeah).
This post isn’t about these, it’s about XPS. The XML Paper Specification (XPS) is a standard for documents from Microsoft (kind of like PDF) that can be very useful for a WPF/Silverlight programmer. Let’s see how you can convert Word to XAML, Excel to XAML (don’t know why, but you never know) or Powerpoint to XAML.
I started PowerPoint and doodled something like in the image

Today I remembered that I have a twitter account. Things aren’t really going as planned right now with my daily activities, so I won’t really have time to post stuff here. Follow me on twitter to see what I’m up to and to read the little things, the things that really matter.
I think on Monday I’ll return with a post about some of the projects I’ve been working on for the past month.
Also, there was a large amount of Silverlight development for these projects, from which I would really love to share some lessons learned.
