Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug-in that frees your code from the traditional confines of the browser. It is a rules-changing, groundbreaking technology that allows you to run rich client applications right inside the browser. Even more impressively, it is able to host true .NET applications in non-Microsoft browsers (like Firefox) and on non-Microsoft platforms (like Mac OS X).
Silverlight is evolving fast, and you need a reliable guidebook to make sense of it.
Microsoft Silverlight allows you to create rich multimedia interfaces with the power and flexibility of Flash, but with the extensibility and the great tools that .NET offers. With Silverlight and ASP.NET Revealed, you'll learn to use Microsoft's Silverlight technology in conjunction with ASP.NET and Visual Studio 2008 (code name Orcas). You will ultimately incorporate Silverlight into an ASP.NET web site and use the ASP.NET controls that render Silverlight content. You'll get the basics of Silverlight, too, making this book a must-read for any web developer curious about Silverlight.
