Programming Silverlight 2 – Jesse Liberty & Tim Heuer

I do not pre-announce books. That said, this book is likely to be of significant interest to this community, and so, now that it is officially listed on Amazon , I thought it reasonable to mention that it is on the way, and that Tim and I are exceedingly proud of it. Our goal in Programming Silverlight...

One Man’s Guide To Silverlight Nirvana

Every day (honest) I am asked for a path through the learning material, even though the Getting Started page offers an explicit path. And that is not surprising. We all have our own way of learning.

That is all goodness, though it can be hard to know where to start; and the road map will differ depending on where you are in your experience with Silverlight. This is a rapidly changing...

Creating a Project from xaml and xaml.cs files

I posted the code for the PageSwitcher app described in a previous blog post , but to save space and to make the download faster, I didn't include anything but the code (no solution or project files).

The Silverlight Tutorials & Book & More

In what may be a first (at least for me) I've secured agreement with the very generous folks I work for here and at O'Reilly to loosely join the tutorials and the chapters of our forthcoming book Programming Silverlight (co-authored by Tim Heuer, O'Reilly 2008) to create an enhanced ...

Binding Data How Do I Video Posted

I'm pleased to say that we've posted a new How Do I Video on Binding Data to Silverlight 2 Controls. In the very beginning of this video I say it is about "wiring up events" but I'm confused and befuddled -- it is, of course, about binding UI objects to business objects. This is...
