Silverlight 2 using C# Course

Course Code: IN 1031
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. 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. This two-day course provides the C# programmer with a thorough foundation in Silverlight 2.
 
After introducing the Silverlight plug-in and SDK and the programming model for Silverlight, 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 Silverlight animation 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 individuals who are programmers.
Duration: 2 days
