Visio: Expressive Diagrams Demo

Earlier in March I gave a demo to Visio users at Microsoft. My presentation was two elements: (1) how to use Visio to create “Expressive Diagrams” – rich, nice looking drawings and (2) advanced tools I built to optimize my own use of Visio. It was exciting to share what I’ve been doing as a Visio user and developer. Because that was an internal presentation I can’t share the recording I made so I re-recorded the demo and uploaded it to vimeo: http://vimeo.com/3813486
