Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug–in that frees your code from
the traditional confines of the browser. It’s a rules-changing, groundbreaking
technology that allows you to run rich client applications right inside the
browser. Even more impressively, it’s able to host true .NET applications
in non-Microsoft browsers (like Firefox) and on non-Microsoft platforms (like
Mac OS X).
Silverlight is still new and evolving fast, and you need a reliable guidebook
to make sense of it. Pro Silverlight 1.1 is the perfect reference: you’ll
learn about the features that put Silverlight in direct competition with Adobe
Flash, such as rich support for 2D drawing, animations, and media playback,
and best of all, you’ll experience the plumbing of .NET and the design
model of WPF through Silverlight—all of the same .NET technology that developers
use to design next-generation Windows applications. Author Matthew MacDonald
provides an expertly crafted tutorial written from professional developer to
professional developer. You’ll learn to create rich media applications
using Silverlight in the environment you’re most productive in—no
matter what the target platform.
What you’ll learn
• Develop rich media applications using Silverlight across browsers and platforms.
• Create a project, set up a layout, and use controls.
• Handle 2D drawing, animation, and media playback through Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF).
• Integrate web services support.
• Use Silverlight in conjunction with ASP.NET and its interactions with HTML.
Who is this book for?
.NET developers encountering Silverlight for the first time. No prior knowledge
of WPF or ASP.NET is assumed.
