Just noticed that I was getting some traffic to the older version of Kaxaml from a whitepaper on windowsclient.net and this reminded me of a long overdue plug.  Karsten and Jaime did a really thorough job putting together an excellent document about developer / designer workflow in WPF and Silverlight.  This is the right place to start if you’re thinking about engaging a team on these technologies, especially if its a team that involves both creative and technical folks. 

Someone is going to argue with me about this, but I haven’t been able to find good literature about how to organize this kind of team using any technology, let alone WPF/Silverlight.  So this is a real boost.  Now feel free to argue with me because I’d really love to read your counter examples.

If you’re going to skim, make sure you read the sections about XAML and then the best practices for developers and designers.  And after you do that, go back and read the rest and you’ll realize that I tricked you into reading like 80% of the document.  Maybe I should teach high school.

Incidentally, Karsten and Jaime are the perfect pair to write this document.  Both are passionate about WPF, both are super sharp guys who get the technology and have practice helping people succeed with it, and one is definitely approaching things from a creative angle and the other from a technical.  I’ll let you guess who is who.
