Kurzbeschreibung
Full Color Code samples appear as they do in Visual Studio and Expression Blend! Printed entirely in color, with helpful figures and syntax coloring to make code samples appear as they do in Visual Studio and Expression Blend! Silverlight is Microsoft's new web-based User Interface (UI) technology, based on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), which is introducing many revolutionary concepts in the world of UI development. Silverlight uses XAML, with tools like Expression Design and Expression Blend, to create astonishing UI effects (such as gradients, compositions, and animations.) In addition to the richness of the UI elements, Silverlight 2 allows the use of C# or VB in addition to JavaScript to automate web pages. With Silverlight, you have the power of .NET on multiple platforms (IE and Firefox on Windows, Firefox and Safari on Macintosh, and Firefox on Linux). The author brings you up to speed very quickly with numerous hands-on examples. * Use XAML to create state-of-the-art user interfaces * Create XAML transforms and animations * Design compelling user experiences with Microsoft Expression Blend * Integrate media into your rich Internet applications * Program Silverlight with both JavaScript and .NET languages * Deploy Silverlight content to web pages * Encode videos with Expression Media Encoder * Make the most of Silverlight elements, resources, and styles * Use templates to quickly change your application's look and feel * Efficiently debug Silverlight code * Use design tools to create graphics that import seamlessly into Silverlight Laurent Bugnion has been a software engineer since 1996. He has worked with many programming languages and environments, including C, C++, Java, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and, since 2002, the Microsoft .NET platform.

Disappointing - Too basic, for the most part
29. Oktober 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I'm a developer who is intimiately familiar with C# and the .NET platform in general. I've also been playing with Silverlight 1.1-2 betas/rc's and was hoping that this book would fill in the gaps that I'd gotten through just playing with it.
But in general, the book seems to be pitched toward a less technical audience- for example, he spends a paragraph telling us how to comment out XML, another area explains how to install Expression Blend, page 68 explains to us why we've got F's in our numbers (it's hex, duh), the diff between raster and vector graphics (this was necessary?)
Chapter -8- finally gets us into some code, and it's JavaScript- but the whole point of V2 was to get us out of JS and let us use other langs for more complex apps than just adding Flash-like abilities to our .NET sites.
Even THEN, we get told that, "JavaScript ... and other C-based languages are case sensitive!", and apparently (in the next para), "...JavaScript uses -variables- (text has it in italics) to store data." Oh my!
Chapter -9- is "Understanding .NET" and finally gets into VStudio.
At page 488, you get 10 pages on calling WCF servers.
If you're a .NET developer with some familiarity with WPF/XAML and a little WCF, you're probably better off waiting for other books. This should have really been called something similar to "Beginning Silverlight 2, mostly with Javascript".
If there were any other reasonable books specifically on 2.0, I'd send it back, but there aren't yet.

Glossy but glossing over important concepts
30. Oktober 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As is the case with some of the other books in this series (the WPF book comes to mind), it seems organized as a stream of consciousness with constant sidebars, and doesn't get into some of the more important concepts when I think it should. Dependency properties in particular are so critical to understand, and had I not been also reading a WPF book, I wouldn't know enough about them.
The book tends to be somewhat designer focused, and doesn't go far enough to explain why you code things a certain way. It's not a cookbook, mind you, but as most programmers would tell you, understanding the underlying reasons for doing things ultimately leads to better understanding and more solid implementation of what you learn.
Perhaps the biggest issue for me is that there's an expectation gap. I think if you were a Flash designer with some basic C# knowledge, you'd appreciate the style of this book. It seems written more for that audience. As an experienced .NET developer, you may feel that this is too basic or flowery. There are a great number of pages dedicated to finding a Web host and using FTP. Simply be aware of those expectations before buying.

Very thorough and applies to the release version
21. November 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
I previously purchased 'Introducing Microsoft Silverlight' by Laurence Moroney, and it was fine for its time before Silverlight 2 was released. However, do NOT buy any book not based on the release version - way too much has changed from Beta 2 and you will be quickly frustrated.
This was an excellent book! But...first the bad. I think it was a little too basic in parts, particularly when it tried to teach me how to program in C#. One book should not try to be both a beginning tutorial and address advanced topics, which this does - I would have much preferred a lot less basics and a little more in-depth explanations. It was obviously rushed through to production because the graphics did not match the text in many cases, and there were obvious bugs in the examples that would have never compiled, much less work correctly. However, it all got the point across very well. I am not a great fan of 'let me show everything with examples' - I would rather have more meat and explanations. This book is BIG on example code, though - which is good in the advanced topics where you can have exact syntax to copy and play with.
Now the good - this book is very thorough, although it occasionally leaves out simple subjects (how do you upload a file to a server???) The examples are thorough, and Bugnion talks through most lines of code. He also covers almost all of the controls available in 2.0, and he even discusses the object hierarchy, which is invaluable when creating your own controls.
Expression Blend is thoroughly covered, as well as significant tutorials in how to code in Visual Studio 2008. This book is meant for a C# programmer who is interested in building n-tier Silverlight applications, not simple eye-candy. Integration with JavaScript and the browser DOM is also given a complete discussion.
In summary, this is the best book out there so far. If you are a C# developer looking to get into this Silverlight 'stuff', don't hesitate to drop a few dollars on this book. As an aside, Flash completely fried my brain - it is a designer's tool, not a developer's tool - and I despise it! Silverlight tends to lean to the developer, but still allows you to do all the cool stuff. In my opinion a perfect compromise and this book reflects that attitude by covering the coding as well as the design aspects extremely well.
