Microsoft Silverlight 4 Business Application Development
- Share to:
Welcome to the world of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) and Silverlight. A world in which the user experience is paramount, and easy to use yet powerful applications are what we strive to create. Silverlight brings .NET developers into the RIA space in a big way, providing the controls we know with web and Windows development and allowing us to define a custom experience to best benefit the users of our applications.
The days of plain HTML web applications are coming to end, making way for more robust and powerful applications. Already the widespread use of AJAX has helped us deliver more user friendly applications and have opened doors that were shut to plain HTML. Silverlight takes this a step further by giving .NET developers what is essentially a thin client that runs within the user's environment and can communicate with our backend servers and services. The ability to make use of the user's memory to run our application rather than sending everything to the web server for processing improves overall user experience and removes some of the traditional application wait times and general unsatisfactory behavior of web applications.
This book will bring ASP.NET and Windows developers into the Silverlight realm by showing them how to leverage their existing .NET skills with Silverlight. The transition into Silverlight should be smooth by following the contents of the chapters in order. The intent is to introduce you to the concepts of Silverlight while getting you into the code right away. We will build on each chapter while creating an application for a fictitious company that creates specialty cakes. By using the concept of the cake company we can identify some real client needs and work to provide solutions using the Silverlight platform to deliver the results.
