Silverlight 2 Lab

Silverlight 2 is Microsoft's revolutionary new platform for creating rich web applications. A much more powerful technology, than the previous 'stop gap' Silverlight 1.0 release, it integrates seamlessly with the .NET Framework to provide an unrivalled experience for both the end-user and the developer. Due to an aggressive pre-release marketing and upgrade cycle, that saw Microsoft partnering with sites such as NBColympics.com, one-in-four consumers was already accessing Silverlight 2 content by launch day.
Silverlight 2 Lab is a new approach to learning about Silverlight that simulates the highly-effective teaching and presentation techniques of a corporate training workshop in order to provide a deep treatment of the subject in an accessible manner. It is written by Andrew Troelsen drawing up on his experience as a trainer to provide readers with a highly hands-on approach to Silverlight 2 learning that digs deeply into the product's capabilities and both discusses and demonstrates best practices for Silverlight itself and for the development tools of Visual Studio 2008 and Express Blend that it relies upon.
