What is the best way to quickly get up to speed on Microsoft Expressions Blend 2?
Are there some good web sites that can get me started or does someone have a good book that they would recommend?
Expression Blend is used in creating Sliverlight XAML. I would start with sliverlight.net
This is where you should get started.

Here is Scott G blog on Blend and Sliverlight.
