Tutorial & Video Info

I've received quite a bit of mail this week about advanced tutorials, so here's a quick note of what is planned. As you know we have RTW on the way, but I believe these plans will not be held up by that. 1. All the existing tutorials will be updated to appear in two versions: one native to C#...

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.

What is coming soon?

You have noticed, I’m sure, that there has been a flurry of blogging, videos and more since the release of Beta 2.

Beta 2 has been announced, and as you know from Tim’s post and Karen Corby’s , one of the big and wonderful additions to Beta 2 is a new model for skinning Silverlight controls.

How Accurate are Our Tutorials and Videos?

A reader wrote to me today saying ( paraphrased ) ...let you know that the PDF version of the Data Binding tutorial identifies itself as tutorial #3 when it should be #2. As result of past experiences with Microsoft I tend to take such things as a sign of the quality control that’s been applied...

What I'm Thinking About April

I've been getting a lot of mail on the lines of "When will we have Beta 2?" or "what is the release date for Silverlight" and since I can't answer those questions, and since I know that folks need to plan, I thought I'd tell you what I can know (at least to some degree...
