Silverlight 5 is the latest iteration of Microsoft's cross-browser
technology for creating rich user experiences on the Web. Like its
predecessor, it rides atop the .NET Framework for maximum ease of use
and coding efficiency. The new technology carries forward much of the
work that has been done before and augments it in many important
respects, including support for H.264 video, major improvements to the
graphics engine (including true 3D rendering), and much richer
data-binding options for interfacing with other applications.
Pro Silverlight 5 in C# is an invaluable reference for professional
developers who want to discover the new features of Silverlight. Author
Matthew MacDonald's expert advice guides you through creating rich
media applications using Silverlight in the environment you're most
productive in--no matter what the target platform. As you learn about
the features that put Silverlight in direct competition with Adobe
Flash, such as rich support for 2D and 3D drawing, animations, and media
playback, you'll experience the plumbing of .NET and the design model of
WPF through Silverlight--all of the same .NET technology that developers
use to design next-generation Windows applications.
Pro Silverlight 5 in C# is a comprehensive tutorial, written from
professional developer to professional developer.
