RE: Sketch Flow: From Concept to Production

cool stuff :) but what about exsisting projects? most of the time we're continuing work on things that already exsist, perhhaps prototyping an extension or planning for vNext it would be really really useful if you could apply or open up sketchflow on an exsisting app and have the exsisting relations between pages layed out. i realise thats a challenge but olny getting the usercontrols would be great too i'd really like to see more info on channel 9 (or something, blogs whatever) on how schetch flow works, how it identifies pages and elements and so forth and how you can use it with exsisting apps :)

Was a great session. Really looking forward to getting our hands on Sketch Flow at work.

Well, as always, the "Sketch-Flow" concept still has to prove itself in a real software project setting. The "application flow" view looks interesting. It looks like that the software designer can model the overall process the software shall support. As I see it, a sketch can be assigned to each process step. How sophisticated this modeling capability really is remains to be seen. Is it suitable to show this "application flow" process to clients or real end-user for feedback? Can I import these processes to "Sketch-Flow"/Blend (e.g. from Visio)? So I really have dozen of more questions. As someone who still uses Visio for sketching and modeling, I am really looking forward to try out Sketch-Flow in Blend.

Sketch Flow seems to be a great tool for demos and looks interesting for a first discussion with our clients, for example. For sure, I am really looking forward to try out this features, mainly the sketching buttons and its look-and-feel so nice! :) Great session!

Amazing work guys! I can see this tool tranforming our development process.

I can see this application being used for meetings with clients on an interactive whiteboard. That way you wouldn't even need to mess around with a laptop keyboard, mouse, etc. There are some exciting features here and even though it's only in the Microsoft world of technologies, that won't matter at this stage of production because the end web site can use whatever means is necessary--these are early prototypes.

Very Nice. In the video Christian says that when you run the project that Blend creates a SketchFlow player file that can be copied to the web sever to allow stake holders to view the prototype remotely. What files need to be copied to deploy SketchFlow prototype to the web server? Is there a built-in deployment feature in the plans for Blend such as the one available for Expression Web?

Absolutely exceptional. I used this as a quick start into getting SketchFlow (didn't know a thing about it) up, running and building a prototype for a project I'm already heavily involved with. This will be revolutionary for me, as I am a veteran developer and have found it difficult to fully / properly merge the design side of WPF it into my head. I keep winding up acting like a developer and coding things that I -shouldn't-. So I think SketchFlow will help me tremendously in this regard as well :)

Re: Emerson, Yes that is true. It appears they only included a very minimal amount of behaviors in the release. I can only speculate as to why. Perhaps the behavior code wasn't up to standards. Or maybe they want to force or encourage the community to provide them. Even if it's one, both, or none of those reasons, it is bad they've done this, since there would be many designers that don't know anything about programming and have no way of personally resolving this issue, which means they can't use the product to do what it's intended to do. Allow them to quickly -and easily- mock up ideas that are interactive in a way closely matching what they have in their head. The official community source for behaviors should grow (hopefully!) over time. I haven't looked into incorporating any of them yet as I'm too busy back on track with my current project that doesn't involve SketchFlow, but take a look at the following and also roam the base Behaviors section for other potentially useful implementations: http://gallery.expression.microsoft.com/en-us/DragDropBehavior

Great Stuff. Please note though that DragandDropItem is not a behavior that is shipped with Blend 3.0. I'm trying to work out how to get that behavior in there

Silverlight is a great product and I like it better than Adobe's. I like the flexibility and custoizability it provides. SketchFlow is awesome too, and it will help deisgners improve their work a lot. sell your business and franchises
