"The book you are holding contains the keys to writing great Silverlight 3 applications. Use them well!" -From the Foreword by Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president, Microsoft Developer Division Microsoft Silverlight is a leading cross-platform, Rich Internet Application (RIA) technology that allows you to create more compelling and interactive Web experiences than are possible with simple HTML browser pages. Silverlight 3 includes significant improvements over previous versions, including "out-of-browser" operation, H.264 video, 3D graphics, and real-time effects. Essential Silverlight 3 is the definitive reference and insider's guide. It not only covers all the key features of the Silverlight 3 runtime and how to use them but, in Under the Hood sections, explains why each feature was developed and how each one works. These "insider" explanations often lead to concise, practical performance tips that can help you speed up your own Silverlight applications. Author Ashraf Michail is uniquely qualified to explain Silverlight 3. He is a Microsoft Silverlight architect who has guided Silverlight from its beginnings through the current version. In this book, he shows how to Integrate the principles and components of a Silverlight application, including XAP, XAML, and .NET codeUse Silverlight vector graphics, bitmap images, and animationDisplay predictable and readable text across platforms and animate text elementsObtain mouse and keyboard input, including mouse wheel eventsImplement smooth animations to improve your user interface and make your application more pleasing to the userUse the Canvas, StackPanel, Grid, and Border elements to lay out your application and define custom layout elementsPlay high-quality, live, and on-demand video and audioCustomize the built-in and toolkit controls and develop new custom Silverlight controlsConnect to and synchronize with data using Silverlight Data BindingUse built-in real-time effects and define custom HLSL pixel shadersEnable GPU-accelerated rendering If you are a developer who is getting started with Silverlight or an expert Silverlight developer who is interested in understanding the inner workings of the Silverlight runtime, this book is for you.
