SILVERLIGHT 1.0
Microsoft just released Silverlight in September, a cross-browser,cross-platform plugin for delivering media experiences and interactive applications for the Web. A direct competitor to Adobe's market dominant Flash application, Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports JavaScript, Visual C#, Visual Basic, and other languages.

Developers are lining up to get started with Silverlight and take advantage of the powerful WPF graphics platform.  Wrox Press is releasing SILVERLIGHT 1.0 (Wrox Press, an imprint of Wiley; $39.99; October 2007), a one-of-a-kind reference with full-color illustrations shows developers how to create rich interactive applications with Silverlight.  Written by a crack team of experts from Infragistics, this book puts readers on the fast track to building everything from basic static pages to Internet applications that integrate rich media and animation.

Silverlight runs within multiple browsers (Explorer, Firefox, Safari) and operating systems (Windows and Macintosh), and it easily integrates within existing HTML pages and sites. The platform leverages existing familiar technologies such as JavaScript, XAML, ASP.NET and AJAX, and delivers a powerful new browser plug-in "player" to give developers the power to create highly immersive, interactive web-based applications.  The technology is designed to allow Web developers to use existing skills to create rich interactive applications (RIAs). Inside SILVERLIGHT 1.0, readers will learn:

* Easy ways to incorporate graphics, animation, audio, and video into Internet applications
* Methods for creating rich media apps that run on Windows and Mac, as well as in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari
* How to write standard JavaScript within an HTML page to manipulate and program against any XAML DOM element, storyline animation, or video
* Ways to integrate Silverlight within existing HTML pages, web sites, and ASP.NET applications
* How to handle data access in Silverlight applications using AJAX

Additionally, this book addresses security, data access using AJAX,and the latest tools for building Silverlight applications, including Visual Studio 2007, Expression Blend 2.0 and Expression Media Encoder.

SILVERLIGHT
1.0 is the perfect reference for professional web developers who want to take advantage of Silverlight's capabilities to create rich interactive applications.
