Hello Silverlight - Start Your Silverlight Journey Today!

I think today is the start for great things to come. And why? Because I had my first article published today, thats why! You can find it over at Dotnetslackers : http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/silverlight/HelloSilverlightStartYourSilverlightJourneyToday.aspx. It basically is the walk through I was looking for when I was curious about Silverlight, but could never find.

It discusses what you need to start developing in Silverlight, what makes up your average Silverlight project, and walks you through a simple example.

If you found my article useful, I also found another good Silverlight article today at the codeproject :  http://www.codeproject.com/silverlight/BeginningSilverlightPart1.asp

happy coding 

Update : 
Ever wondered how you can render HTML in your silverlight controls? Delay has written an HTMLTextBlock control that does just that. Obviously it does not have a fully fledged HTML rendering engine behind the scenes, but it supports the more common tags. Check it out.

  • For video or animation I think its a no brainer for most - Flash simply has the install base. I'm trying to determine how well silverlight is as an application platform - something Flash has never gotten right. I'm wondering, does Silverlight have support for showing HTML within a control?
