Accelerated Silverlight 3 teaches you how to get up to speed with the
latest version of Silverlight quickly and efficiently. The book assumes
you’re already comfortable with the basics of .NET coding and with WPF
and builds on your existing knowledge to make your journey to
Silverlight 3 proficiency as quick and painless as possible. Where
coding techniques are similar to other, more established, areas of .NET,
the text says so. Likewise, where there’s a syntax or conceptual
“gotcha” that you’re existing coding habits will walk you into, the text
points that out, too.This book provides you with fast-track coverage of
all the most important elements of the Silverlight 3 technology ranging
from XAML to standard controls, from dealing with media to networking,
from testing to deployment. It concludes with a pair of fully worked
sample applications for you to follow through, because nothing
reinforces your understanding of how concepts fit together as much as
looking at finished code.It is assumed that readers are already be
comfortable with the workings of the .NET Framework. Knowledge of
Expression Blend is useful, but not mandatory: you’ll learn the Blend
techniques that you need to know as you go through the book. By the end,
you will have followed a sound, concise, path to mastery of Silverlight
