4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the tin, 24 Nov 2008
By Dave Prout (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is called Introducing Microsoft Silverlight 2, and that's what it does. It tells you what you can do with Silverlight 2, and gives examples. If you try out the examples you can then find out more detail from the web. For example, I hadn't used Animation or Drag 'n Drop, but the information and examples here were enough to get me going. Then I was able to strike out on my own to learn more detail.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little light, but a good starting point for silverlight, 16 Oct 2008
By C. Barrett (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Introducing Silverlight 2 is a book that can be quickly read and covers the basics of silverlight. Due to my misunderstanding of silverlight, when I had ordered this book I had thought that it would have details regarding Blend, and the possibilities of this application. This section was quickly read. Also I would have liked more infomation about animations and 3D manipulation within silverlight, but again it was very light on this.
Overall, a clearly written book, with straighforward examples, and not a bad starting point for silverlight. However, to be able to go further and put silverlight apps into production you will need to go a little further than this book.
