In this post I will take the login screen mockup and create a Silverlight layout from it. But before I delve into the screens let’s talk about layouts in general.
When building applications one of the hardest things to get right is the layout of controls and how they behave when the application resizes.
When designers create there mockups they generally create screens that are snapshots taken at a single point in time. Some of the more experienced designers produce multiple mockups that show the same application behaving as they’d expect when resized at the same single point in time. I prefer the multiple mockup process showing the effect of resizing but at the end of the day it all depends on what your designers/UX people are willing to do.

Hi,
If the rest of the posts in this series are going to be like this you should consider writing a book or doing some videos. I’d be willing to pay for them.
Keep up the great work and looking forward to your next post!

Do you do any speaking sessions? I would really like to know if you do cause I’d like to attend one of your sessions. This is a great post and If the others are going to be like this, wow.
Agree with Kumar, you should do some videos cause it’s clear you know what your talking about.
