Browsing through Codeplex<\/a> I came across this project<\/a> to recreate iTunes as a Silverlight application. What’s remarkable is that author Jose Fajardo has kept a kind of developer’s diary on his blog<\/a>, complete with YouTube videos here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a> showing how he is recreating Apple’s music app as a Silverlight\/Ajax web application. <\/p>\n

The videos are not exactly gripping unless<\/strong> you are interested in the nitty-gritty of how to create a control in Microsoft’s Expression Blend<\/a> and integrate it into a Silverlight application. If you are, then this sort of hands-on demo gives a great picture of real-world use. It’s a also an intriguing example of how to replicate another company’s expensive design efforts with just a few minutes in a suitable tool.<\/p>\n
