Microsoft Silverlight 2 is a new development platform designed
to make the development of rich Internet applications (RIAs) far
easier than has previously been possible. Pro Silverlight for the
Enterprise addresses the question of how you can bring Silverlight
2 to your company to provide rich Internet experiences that will
interface cleanly with your existing application architecture.
The book begins with a clear discussion of why Silverlight is
such a good choice for developing RIAs and the implications that
this has for your development decisions. The options available will
be demonstrated by constructing a simple webbased training portal
for a fictional enterprise, which will be extended and altered to
demonstrate the techniques and methods that you have available to
you. This includes accessing data using WCF and LINQ, and
considering how best to deploy your finished Silverlight
application when it is complete. The book also discusses the future
of Silverlight for mobile and how to plan for its release.
This book is unique in that it focuses on how Silverlight can be
applied in today's business environment rather than simply delving
into the product's syntax and grammar in isolation. Silverlight is
discussed in context with consideration given to security,
scalability, and deployment. As such this book makes an excellent
addition to any Silverlight library and extends your knowledge into
practical areas that are rarely discussed. What you'll learn
