There has been a huge surge in interest in 'Web 2.0' technologies over
the last couple of years. Microsoft's contribution to this area has been
the ASP.NET AJAX and Silverlight technologies, coupled to a supporting
framework of ancillary tools. This book aims to be a no nonsense
introduction to these technologies for the rapidly growing number of
people who are realizing that they need Microsoft-based 'Web 2.0' skills
on their CV. It gives people a grounding in the core concepts of the
technologies and shows how they can be used together to produce the
results that people need. The book is written by an experienced author.
He is a Microsoft insider and a Silverlight Evangelist with a strong
community following and unparalleled experience of introducing people to
these technologies.
