Editorial Review: Product Description: Get a jump on the next release of Silverlight with early insights from a Technical Evangelist on the Microsoft Silverlight team. This guide describes how you can simplify the development and deployment of rich interactive applications (RIAs) by using Silverlight 2 tools with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and the Microsoft .NET Framework. RIAs are Web applications with the features and functionality of full desktop applications. Processing tasks are performed on the client, but data is stored on the server. With Silverlight, RIAs install quickly via a small, on-demand plug-in. This book demonstrates how you can easily use existing skills and tools to deliver next-generation user interfaces and media experiences. You ll discover how to begin building different types of Silverlight-based solutions, generate Silverlight applications dynamically on the server, create an XAML service, and more. The book also features a companion Web site with code samples in Microsoft Visual C# and Visual Basic . Key Book Benefits: * Delivers practical, grounded advice from a member of the Silverlight team, including an insider's view of the evolution of this Web presentation technology * Describes how Silverlight 2 will simplify development and deployment of RIAs with the .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2008 * Provides context about the relationships among Silverlight and the various .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5 technologies * Places RIAs in context for both Web and Windows-based developers * Features a companion Web site with code samples in Visual C# and Visual Basic Average Rating:
 Rating:  - No Visual Basic examplesIf your looking for the examples in VB, forget it. At one time the author said he was going to do the VB translations. Never happened to my knowledge. To top that off, I MISSED MY RETURN DATE. Rating:  - AwkwardSeems awkward. It never seems to have what I am looking for, and the organization doesn't work the way my mind does. I found the Silverlight 2 Bible to be much more helpful. Rating:  - Good Silverlight IntroductionThis is a good book to start on Silverlight. It's a little shallow on network access and data binding but overall it does a great job of explaining Silverlight 2 fundamentals. Highly recommended if you are new to Silverlight 2. Rating:  - The only resource you need for Silverlight 2Laurence has done an amazing job on this book. "Introducing Silverlight 2" is the perfect followup to his previous book, which illustrated the concepts of Silverlight 1.0. The book goes into great details with the various features of Silverlight 2. I highly recommend it as a training resource and development reference for all Silverlight users. Rating: - Brillilant IntroductionLaurence Moroney's book is a wonderful introduction to Silverlight 2, and he produced this when folks need it, just when Silverlight 2 is new. He did this by hard work, and by knowing the product inside and out (and he's providing continuing support through release and beyond.) The book is extremely well written and well organzied, with solid coverage of all the core topics and a good bit beyond (including extensive coverage of Deep Zoom, interacting with ASP.NET and using Dynamic Languages ...
