Book Reviews of Essential Silverlight 2 Up-to-Date
Book Review: Good Introductory Silverlight 2 Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think there's any pretense made about this book not being an introductory book, and as such, I think it does a great job from the ground up.
The add-in sections idea is a clever concept for a technology that's not fully baked yet. How do you get material out the to people clamoring for it on something that is still in beta release?
In my opinion, there's never too much introductory material because everyone learns different ways. There will be plenty of advanced books to go around I'm sure, as soon as Silverlight 2 is fully released. Until then, we're all playing a game of watching and waiting.
What better way to wait than to have something on-target now that will also be on-target later with the pages you either print or purchase and insert yourself.
What I do -- pull out the sections you're reading to take with you to avoid dragging a large book around -- I like it!
