This is a book that will help you to get up at speed with this fantastic new technology from Microsoft, this book gives you all the information you need to start developing some great Silverlight apps.
I really appreciate the fact that has all the pictures and code in color, it helps a lot to understand, also I appreciate the fact that the authors didn't went so deep in the HTML/JavaScript details, instead they went straight to the core of Silverlight and how to use it.
I have to say that I got the book, and I couldn't stop to read. This is one of those books that you will like to have on your side has a reference when you are working on any Silverlight project.
After this book I gain more interest for the XAML, WPF that Microsoft has been doing with the new version of .NET framework ( .NET 3.5).
