Book Reviews of Introducing Microsoft Silverlight 2.0, 2nd Edition
Book Review: Solid Intro to Silverlight 2 beta 2
Summary: 5 Stars
This review refers to the beta 2 version of the book. This book is exactly what the title says - it is a good, solid introduction to programming Silverlight 2 beta 2 in C#.
Laurence does a good job of covering all of the basics of writing Silverlight applications - his web site has a good table of contents (http://blogs.msdn.com/webnext/) which clearly describes the books contents.
One of the features of the book that I especially like is the valuable information about how to run Silverlight from a Linux system and also information about using Silverlight with PHP, Java, MySQL, JavaScript, AJAX, Ruby, and IronPython.
Laurence has been very responsive in helping to resolve any issue with the code that I have had. The book's code is Silverlight 2 beta 2; however, there has been one minor upgrade and I am sure that there will be more so having good response from the author is very important when dealing with beta software.
I do highly recommend this book as a basic introduction to writing Silverlight 2 beta 2 code in C#.

Summary of Introducing Microsoft Silverlight 2.0, 2nd Edition
Get a jump on the next release of Silverlight with early insights from a Technical Evangelist on the Microsoft Silverlight team. This guide describes how you can simplify the development and deployment of rich interactive applications (RIAs) by using Silverlight 2 tools with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and the Microsoft .NET Framework. RIAs are Web applications with the features and functionality of full desktop applications. Processing tasks are performed on the client, but data is stored on the server. With Silverlight, RIAs install quickly via a small, on-demand plug-in. This book demonstrates how you can easily use existing skills and tools to deliver next-generation user interfaces and media experiences. You ll discover how to begin building different types of Silverlight-based solutions, generate Silverlight applications dynamically on the server, create an XAML service, and more. The book also features a companion Web site with code samples in Microsoft Visual C# and Visual Basic .Key Book Benefits:
