商品描述

With the need for a richer user experience ever more in focus when creating web applications, Microsoft has released Silverlight, the new cross–browser, cross–platform plug–in that allows developers to create rich interactive applications for the Web.

Silverlight poses exciting new opportunities for creating visually impressive web applications, offering unparalleled response times and minimal bandwidth requirements. Key differences in the new design tools present developers with new challenges, but author Robert Lair of IBuySpy notoriety (the original ASP.NET application) shows you how to get a firm handle on Silverlight so you can start creating your own Silverlight web applications with exciting results.

Explore the best of the new tools and discover how they can benefit your own projects. Microsoft’s Expression Design tool plays an important part in creating Silverlight assets, Microsoft Expression Blend is used to build user interaction for Silverlight elements, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 manages the interaction between designers and developers and provides the coding environment for the “nuts and bolts” basis of Silverlight development. Prepare to take a grand tour of all these new tools and explore the fundamentals of building good Silverlight applications from scratch. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll move on to a more in–depth discussion of some of the groundbreaking new features of the Silverlight technology and why they will change the way you build web sites of the future.

What you’ll learn

  • The tools needed for Silverlight development, the role each plays, and how they interact to produce a seamless result
  • The fundamental concepts and techniques that lie at the heart of every successful Silverlight application and how to apply them to your own projects
  • The new features and coding practices that Silverlight offers you as a developer that sets it apart from other web–development tools

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone with an interest in web development. A basic familiarity with web–development and simple C# coding is useful, but by no means a requirement. Everything you need to know to get started on Silverlight web application development is included. Although not a design-oriented text, Beginning Silverlight 2 approaches the topic by showing how applications are put together across the developer–designer divide, equipping you with the necessary know–how to work seamlessly with your design colleagues (or indeed perform both roles with the aid of a suitable design text).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

隨著在創建網絡應用程序時對更豐富用戶體驗的需求越來越重要,微軟推出了Silverlight,這是一個新的跨瀏覽器、跨平台的插件,允許開發人員為Web創建豐富的互動應用程序。

Silverlight為創建視覺效果令人印象深刻的Web應用程序提供了令人興奮的新機會,提供了無與倫比的響應時間和最小的帶寬要求。新設計工具的關鍵差異給開發人員帶來了新的挑戰,但作者羅伯特·萊爾(Robert Lair)(原始的ASP.NET應用程序IBuySpy的作者)將向您展示如何熟練掌握Silverlight,以便您可以開始創建令人興奮的Silverlight Web應用程序。

探索最好的新工具,並發現它們如何使您的項目受益。微軟的Expression Design工具在創建Silverlight資產方面起著重要作用,微軟的Expression Blend用於構建Silverlight元素的用戶交互,微軟的Visual Studio 2008管理設計師和開發人員之間的交互作用,並為Silverlight開發的“基礎”提供編碼環境。準備好對所有這些新工具進行全面介紹,並從頭開始探索構建良好Silverlight應用程序的基礎知識。一旦掌握了基礎知識,您將深入討論Silverlight技術的一些開創性新功能,以及它們將如何改變您構建未來網站的方式。

您將學到什麼:
- Silverlight開發所需的工具,每個工具的角色以及它們如何相互作用以產生無縫的結果
- 每個成功的Silverlight應用程序的基本概念和技術,以及如何將它們應用於您自己的項目
- Silverlight作為開發人員提供的新功能和編碼實踐,使其與其他Web開發工具區分開來

這本書適合誰閱讀?
這本書適合任何對Web開發感興趣的人。對Web開發和簡單的C#編碼有基本的熟悉是有用的,但絕不是必需的。書中包含了您開始進行Silverlight Web應用程序開發所需的所有知識。雖然不是一本以設計為導向的書籍,《Beginning Silverlight 2》通過展示如何跨開發人員和設計師之間組合應用程序的方式來探討這個主題,為您提供了必要的知識,以便與設計同事無縫合作(或者在適當的設計文本的幫助下同時扮演兩個角色)。
