Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. With Silverlight, your Web development experience will much more closely resemble the development of desktop applications using WPF. Ultimately, the goal of Silverlight is to create Web applications that are indistinguishable from desktop applications.
Practical Silverlight Programming provides everything you need to create advanced graphics and user interfaces in your Web applications using Silverlight 2. From simple user interfaces and 2D shapes to complex custom user controls, game physics, and 3D graphics objects, the book uses code examples to clearly explain every step it takes to build a variety of Silverlight applications. You'll learn how to use Silverlight to develop impressive graphics effects and high-fidelity user interfaces.
