One of the latest buzzwords you often hear nowadays is RIA, or Rich
Internet Applications. Rich Internet applications (RIA) are Web
applications that have the features and functionality of traditional
desktop applications. To Microsoft, RIA stands for Rich Interactive
Applications, which is really their main focus when they recently
announced the latest product known as Silverlight.
Microsoft® Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for
delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and
rich interactive applications for the Web. Silverlight offers a
flexible programming model that supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python, and
Ruby, and integrates with existing Web applications. Silverlight
supports fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality video to all
major browsers running on Mac OS X or Windows.
In this 2-day jumpstart course, participants will learn the basics of
Silverlight and get jumpstarted on developing compelling RIA
