Silverlight is a multi-platform web browser plug-in that enables development of rich client side rendering and functionality with a programming environment that should be familiar to anyone that uses the standard Microsoft .Net 2.0. Silverlight provides a stand-alone, optimized and scaled down version of the .Net 2.0/3.0/3.5 CLR and class libraries built specifically for running in the partial trust sand box of a web browser. Features include standard UI controls, layout, animation, 2D drawing primitives, video and audio support along with an optimized version of network SOAP and RESTful web service support. This class expects the students to be familiar with .Net 2.0 and the C# programming language (examples will be available in Visual Basic .Net, but C# will be used for in class demos). Prerequisites: Before attending this course, students should be familiar with .Net 2.0 (C# or Visual Basic.Net languages and class library), have some experience with IIS 5.1 (XP) or IIS 6.0 (Server 2003) or IIS 7.0 Experience in creating a very simple ASP.Net web services would be a bonus.
