New Silverlight 4 books

A while back I was contacted by a publishing company called PACKT Publishing, they were saying they had some new Silverlight books and were looking for reviewers.

To be honest, to start with I was a bit sceptic,  I’d never heard of PACKT publishing, so my first step was to look it up and make sure the message was even real. Having had a look at their site etc., it all seemed legit, and I decided to have a look at what they had to offer. Hey what can I say, who am I to pass up on some free Silverlight 4 books?! :)

The two new books they’ve released are “Microsoft Silverlight 4 Data and Services Cookbook” and “Microsoft Silverlight 4 Business Application Development : Beginner's Guide”.

So in the next few weeks I’ll be reading through these books and share my thoughts about them here.

IF you’re interested in checking out these books yourself, here’s some linked images the publishers provided.
