However it wasn’t until Silverlight 2 that developers started to get really excited about the technology, primarily because of the ability to write Silverlight applications using the .NET framework. This allowed developers to start creating cross-platform, cross-browser, rich internet applications.Silverlight 3 further adds to the capabilities of Silverlight for the rich internet application developer, including a new navigation framework that allows devel-opers to create multi-page application scenarios in Silverlight, new controls that help developers create rich user-interfaces, as well as improvements in runtime performance, animation, caching and networking. In addition to these new capabilities, Silverlight 3 applications can now escape the browser, allowing users to install Silverlight applications locally. This provides a way for developers to create cross-platform applications, without having to recompile source for each platform. Beginning Silverlight teaches the fundamental concepts and techniques that lie at the heart of every successful Silverlight application through a number of step-by-step walk-through tutorials, that will give you hands on experience with the different topics and get you ready to start developing Silverlight applications for your own.Robert Lair THE APRESS ROADMAPPro Business Applications with Silverlight 3Pro Silverlight for the EnterprisePro Silverlight 3 in C#Silverlight 3 RecipesBeginning Silverlight 3Accelerated Silverlight 3ISBN 978-1-4302-2377-19 78143022377153 999Author ofBeginning Silverlight 2Pure ASP.NET: A Code-Intensive Premium ReferenceUS $39.99Shelve in Web DevelopmentUser level: Beginner-Intermediatewww.apress.comSOURCE CODE ONLINECompanion eBook See last page for details on $10 eBook version ■ ■ ■ Beginning Silverlight 3: From Novice to Professional Copyright © 2009 by Robert Lair All rights reserved.
