Silverlight is the Microsoft solution for delivering rich, cross-platform, interactive experiences including video, audio, animation, and graphics for the Web and beyond. Utilizing a subset of XAML (eXtensible Application Markup Language)-based Windows Presentation Foundation technology, Silverlight enables the creation of content and applications that run within multiple browsers and across multiple operating systems (Windows and Macintosh) with a standard programming model. Consistent with Web architecture, the XAML markup is programmable using JavaScript and works well with (but does not require the presence of) ASP.NET Ajax. This course covers both the 1.0 release of Silverlight, as well as the future version 2 release which includes a client-side version of the .NET CLR hosted in the browser (the class will use the most recent public release of version 2).

Attendees will develop a deep understanding of Microsoft Silverlight, gain valuable insights into using Silverlight to build rich internet applications that integrate with their existing .NET solutions, and understand the complete features sets of each release of Silverlight.
