Sebastopol, CA–Silverlight and ASP.NET AJAX are giving Microsoft developers exciting new options when it comes to creating the rich web experiences users now expect. O’Reilly’s got them covered in its latest releases.
“Getting Started with Silverlight” by Shawn Wildermuth Silverlight is Microsoft’s new cross-browser plug-in for delivering richer web experiences to end-users, including video and animations. Silverlight is generating buzz not only inside the traditional Microsoft developer community, but also among designers and web developers who have long relied on other tools such as Macromedia Flash to get their jobs done.
