Silverlight is a lightweight but powerful plug-in for multiple web browsers
on multiple operating systems that makes it easier than ever to create rich
web-based content, applications, and controls. With support for vector graphics,
animations, full-screen high-definition video, and more, Silverlight gives you
the ability to create more compelling content than you dreamed possible for
Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Silverlight provides much of the power of Windows
Presentation Foundation, but with less overhead and easy integration with HTML
and AJAX-style applications. Silverlight 1.0 Unleashed is the authoritative
book that covers the technology in a practical and approachable fashion, authored
by Silverlight guru and Microsoft developer Adam Nathan.
