Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in, similar to Flash, that delivers rich interactive applications for the Web. Silverlight offers a flexible programming model based largely on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF); it supports a number of different programming languages and techniques (making it cross-platform) and all major browsers (providing cross-browser support).
There is lots of interest in Microsoft’s Flash killer, and several conferences have seen heavy support for this exciting technology. Little published information on this technology is available on the market now, and so this introduction to the visual features and capabilities of Silverlight will hopefully get you going quickly.
This concise book is meant to give you a sense of what you, as a programmer, can expect from Silverlight in terms of what the user is going to see. The emphasis here is on understanding what Silverlight has to offer. While there is some code given, that is not the point of the book. The point is to be able to quickly understand what functionality is available to you and what options you might have without getting bogged down in much code.
The text assumes that you are a programmer and that you have an understanding of XAML. However, if you ignore the code that exists in the book, then any layperson, or even an administrator, can come to grips with the visual element of Silverlight.
