Welcome to my Silverlight blog

Greetings and welcome to my new Silverlight blog!

This blog was formerly at http://blogs.silverlight.net/blogs/msnow.

For more information on myself, please refer to the About Page.

Over the course of time I will be uploading blogs that cover a wide range of “How To” tutorials that will hopefully give you quick and easy ways to accomplish what you need in Silverlight.

About Silverlight

If you are not familiar with Silverlight please refer to any one of the following links:

In a nutshell, Silverlight is a phenomenal framework for developing rich applications for the web and mobile devices. It includes a cross-platform, cross browser version of the .NET Framework. While it excels at displaying high-definition video files, it is very versatile and can be used for a wide range of Internet applications including, as we will explorer here, computer games. Silverlight applications are delivered to a browser through a markup language called XAML. For the most part, XAML is where you will define your UI elements as well as do your data binding and event handling. Your programmatic logic is separated in code-behind files that you can choose to write in either C# or VB. Through out the course of these tutorials I will be using Visual Studio as the primary tool for developing Silverlight applications.

    Hello !

    First of all, Good work ! Your Blog is very cool & useful.

    I have a little question, Can you tell what is your WebHosting provider and what kind of “Plan” did you suscribe ?
    I would like to create a website with Blog & Silverlight content but i can’t choose a webhost beacause i haven’t find the good one.

    Thank in advance

    Good luck with your blog.

    Anthony.

    I Use WordPress. Check out WordPress.org.

    It’s easy to setup and run. I do it from my own home server.
