Silverlight is an application development framework that allows creating 'rich internet applications' (RIAs). A Silverlight RIA can run within any web browser, in a way which is quite similar to Adobe Flash or Java applets. Silverlight apps can be developed using tools familiar to just about all .NET developers - C#, WPF, and Expression, for instance. Microsoft is highly committed to Silverlight, and has been adding features rapidly. Silverlight 4 Unleashed is an expert book, with a lot of hands on samples. It builds on Silverlight 2 Unleashed's chapters that provide a great fundamental overview of Silverlight, and concentrates on the new features and expert topics. It includes a lot of step by step demos and code samples that will help the reader to discover new features and use them immediately. It will be one of the only - if not the only - book on Silverlight 4 printed in full color. The author is a recognized expert on Silverlight, through his blog, his speaking engagements, and his Silverlight MVP status.
