Summary

Silverlight 3 is a user-friendly tool from Microsoft that allows developers to easily add life to web applications with dynamic user features, colourful transitions, and eye-catching animations. We think it should be just as much fun to learn Silverlight as it is to use it. And we know that fun learning gets better results. Hello! Silverlight 3 is a fast-paced, entertaining introduction to Silverlight. In this book, User Friendly cartoon characters offer commentary and snide side comments, as the book moves quickly from Hello World into practical techniques. Each one is illustrated with a hands-on example. Along the way, readers will learn to build a simple Silverlight-based game complete with sound effects.
