About this book

• Takes a broad church approach to the technologies showing people how to build the results they desire quickly and efficiently
•                                         The core technologies covered in this book (particularly ASP.NET AJAX and Silverlight) are enjoying huge interest in the development community
•                                         Written by an experienced author who is a Microsoft insider and a Silverlight Evangelist with a strong community following and unparalleled experience of introducing people to these technologies
  

There has been a huge surge in interest in ‘Web 2.0’ technologies over the last couple of years. Microsoft’s contribution to this area has been the ASP.NET AJAX and Silverlight technologies, coupled to a supporting framework of ancillary tools.
This book aims to be a no nonsense introduction to these technologies for the rapidly growing number of people who are realizing that they need Microsoft-based ‘Web 2.0’ skills on their CV. It gives people a grounding in the core concepts of the technologies and shows how they can be used together to produce the results that people need.
