If you are a web application developer looking for ways to create rich, interactive, and immersive

browser-hosted applications using Microsoft Silverlight and .NET, then this book will give you the

information you need on the core concepts and techniques fundamental to Silverlight-based development.

Even if you did not have Silverlight in mind, the book will help you see the possibilities and

understand what you can (and in some cases can’t) achieve with the technology.

Having an understanding of the .NET Framework will help, but if you are an experienced developer

new to the .NET Framework, you will still be able to learn Silverlight 2 using this book because

much of the development is in the XAML markup language as well as in code.

If you are a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) developer, this book will help you understand

how to work with Silverlight 2, which uses the same markup language but is a subset of WPF

functionality packaged in a cross-browser and cross-platform plug-in.

The example code in this book is written in C#. However, much of the development is in the

XAML, not in C#, so if you are a VB.NET developer, the markup is almost exactly the same. For the

examples that do include C# code in the code-behind, the code translates pretty easily, as the .NET

Framework 3.5 for Silverlight is language agnostic.

If you are a developer in need of learning a particular technique, this book is for you as it is task

driven in Apress’s recipe format. Each major facet of Silverlight 2 development is presented with a

description of the topic in the form of a problem statement, a “How It Works” section, and a section

that walks through the recipe sample code.
