Pro Silverlight 3 in C#
Dear Reader,
Silverlight is a revolutionary browser plug-in that allows developers to create
rich client applications that run inside the browser. Like Adobe Flash, Silverlight
supports event handling, two-dimensional drawing, video playback, network-
ing, and animation. Unlike Flash, Silverlight is tailored to .NET developers.
Most impressively, Silverlight applications execute pure C# code.
The most exciting part of Silverlight is its cross-platform muscle. Unlike
ordinary .NET applications, Silverlight applications run seamlessly in non-
Microsoft browsers (like Firefox) and on non-Microsoft platforms (like Mac OS
X). Essentially, Silverlight is a scaled-down, browser-hosted version of .NET—
and that’s made it the most hotly anticipated technology that Microsoft’s
released in years.
In this book, you’ll master Silverlight from the ground up. No Silverlight
experience is required—but if you’ve worked with Silverlight 2, you’ll appreci-
ate the “What’s New” boxes that point out new features at the start of every
chapter. By the end of this book, you’ll have a solid understanding of the com-
plete Silverlight platform, and you’ll be able to build anything from a slick busi-
ness front-end to a browser-based game.
Welcome aboard!
