Microsoft Silverlight Course

Course Code: IN 789
Course Abstract: Microsoft’s Silverlight is a new client-side web technology that 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. This two-day course provides the programmer with a thorough foundation in Silverlight 1.0. It pairs well with our three day ASP.NET AJAX course for a full week of instruction on client-side web programming.
 
After introducing the Silverlight plug-in and SDK, the course provides a thorough survey of Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), which is also the foundation of Windows Presentation Framework (WPF). The course then shows how to use Silverlight to draw shapes, lines, text and images. The positioning and transformation of elements is covered. Event handling is covered. The course concludes with an introduction to advanced features such as animation, on-demand downloading of content and the use of video and audio.
 
Numerous programming examples and exercises are provided. The participant will receive a complete set of notes and all the programming examples.
Audience: This course is designed for developers, architects, project leaders and project managers.
Duration: 2 days
