Publisher Description: Silverlight 2 Lab presents a new approach to learning about Silverlight. Andrew Troelsen, author and .NET trainer, simulates the highly effective teaching and presentation techniques of a corporate training workshop in order to provide a deep treatment of Silverlight 2 in an accessible manner. Each chapter begins with a focused "traditional treatment" in which the scope of the chapter and the topics that will be covered are discussed and the course of the training lab laid out. Then, once the stage has been set, the bulk of the chapter takes the form of a hands-on lab that walks you deeply through the topic in a highly experiential manner, with new techniques and ideas encountered and explained as you progress. For this reason, the book is targeted at experienced .NET developers who already possess a good knowledge of C# and an outline understanding of what Silverlight is. Starting at this level allows readers to dive deeply into the subject from the very beginning. This book is for competent .NET developers who are adopting Silverlight. It is assumed you are comfortable with C# and the fundamentals of .NET architecture. If in doubt, a primer such as Accelerated C# 2008 by Trey Nash (Apress, 2007) will bring you up to speed with the necessary skills before you tackle these training labs. |
