Microsoft Expression Products

Microsoft has released a new product line called Expression, targeting web designers and developers. The product line up consists of 3 products:

1. Expression Graphic Designer: used for creating vector or pixel-based rich graphics with texture and dimensions
2. Expression Interactive Designer: for creating an engaging and interactive interface using multi-media.
3. Expression Web Designer: used for building optimal web sites using a visual designer and leveraging ASP.Net, XML, and XHTML.

Web designers can incorporate elements from each product into a single web site. In addition, all these products can be used in conjunction with Visual Studio 2005 to leverage the capabilities of programming languages such as C# and VB.Net. Projects can then be built and deployed from Visual Studio.
