Silverlight 2 Courseware in VB and C#
January 27, 2009.
Object Innovations is pleased to announce new courses on Microsoft's Silverlight 2 technology:
Silverlight, previously called "WPF/E" or Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere"
is an important new client-side web technology from Microsoft. It enables the implementation
of visually stunning web applications that depend only on a small, easy-to-install plug-in
that works in browsers for both Windows and Macintosh. Silverlight 2 provides a cross-platform
and cross-browser implementation of the .NET Framework. Silverlight applications can be implemented
in .NET languages such as C# and Visual Basic as well as in JavaScript.
The new courses introduce Silverlight for C# and Visual Basic programmers and provide a thorough survey of
Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), which is also the foundation of
Windows Presentation Framework (WPF). They covers Silverlight's graphics programming model,
which supports the display of both vector graphics and images, as well as animations and
multimedia. There are many example programs and labs.
Parallel Silverlight 2 courseware for JavaScript programmers is coming soon:
The new courseware is part of an extensive .NET curriculum that thoroughly covers classic
.NET topics as well as new technologies, such as WPF, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF),
and ASP.NET AJAX. Languages used in the curriculum include C#, Visual Basic, C++/CLI, and
JavaScript.
Shipments of the new courseware begin immediately.
