If your looking for the examples in VB, forget it. At one time the author said he was going to do the VB translations. Never happened to my knowledge. To top that off, I MISSED MY RETURN DATE.

Well written book. Laurence gives great advice along with examples. I’m a nooby at Silverlight and this definitively helps.

I do recommend Silverlight 1.0 Unleashed as the best Silverlight reference so far. However, Introducting Silverlight does have a couple things that I haven’t seen in other books:
- A whole chapter–albeit a very short one–is devoted to Silverlight ink support. It has a useful sample to pull together concepts from the SDK.
- The author also showed a little of his developer evangelist motivations by including a quick look at integrating Silverlight into non-Microsoft platforms: Java (JSP) and PHP with MySQL. The example was basic, but it did add a welcome extra dimension to the book–and quite interesting to see the ease/portability of Silverlight.
This book probably won’t be your end-all reference for Silverlight 1.0 (I do prefer the free SDK over this title), but it does make a for a good read-it-and-resell-it book.

When first learning Silverlight 2, I picked up this book and got up to speed very quickly. It was a great introduction with lots of building block examples. I like practical books with lots of examples, so this book was great.
