Don Xml's Grok This

	Documenting the Conversion from SVG to XAML One of the things I want to do with blog is to help the SVG developer learn XAML, and get the XAML developer to understand SVG.  Hopefully by crossing training both groups we can help make both technologies much better.  I believe that both groups can learn from each other. My first major XAML project is something that I’m helping Chris Sells with, and should be available to the public shortly.  I’ll be working mostly on the graphics stuff, and it is mostly converting some pretty complex SVG graphics to XAML.  All the SVG was generated using Adobe Illustrator CS (the brand new version).  The SVG capabilities in Illustrator CS are vastly improved over version 10, and now uses the SVG Symbol elements.  As I run into issues, solutions, and cool tips/tricks, I’ll document them all in this category.  DonXML Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

About donxml

I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
