Silverlight 2 Visual Essentials
Dear Reader,
This concise book explores what visual elements and visual programming functionality
Silverlight 2 has to offer. These visual elements are really the key to the appeal of Silverlight,
and so they are the focus of the book. Among the topics addressed are
A solid introduction to all aspects of Silverlight where you build a simple Silverlight project
Silverlight’s layout manager and Silverlight elements
The Silverlight event model
The application model
Shapes and geometries available to Silverlight developers
Brushes and transforms
A brief discussion of what you can do with animations in Silverlight
While there is some code, that is not the point of the book. Rather, it is to get you to quickly
understand what visual functionality is available and what programming options are available,
without getting bogged down in much code.
The text assumes that if you are a programmer, you have an understanding of XAML. However,
if you ignore the code, any decision maker who needs to get a better understanding of what
Silverlight can do, any layperson, or even an administrator can come to grips with the visual
elements of Silverlight.
Best Regards,
Matthew MacDonald
