Reading 'Silverlight 4 in Action' book by Pete Brown. Concepts explained in a very simplistic and easy to understand manner. It is a very good book.

Too bad Silverlight is dead as a development platform. It won't be developed any further than bug fixes for release 5.1.

Dave KreskowiakHi Dave, Thanks for info. But I think still Microsoft has not officially said about stopping Silverlight development. If it does, atleast for few more years SL Support will be there - i.e., till 2021 according to this site: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean45[^] btw, learning Silverlight helps getting to know about some of the WPF concepts further as its kind of subset to Wpf.

So why are you reading Silverlight 4 in Action? Why not Silverlight 5?

With the proliferation of Android and iOS tablets and phones, starting a new project using targeting Silverlight is ill advised. IMHO, you'd be much better off learning ASP .NET MVC and the plethora of JS frameworks. /ravi

Actually, they have. Read this[^] and donwload and read the 70-page document linked to in the first paragraph. MS want's Silverlight gone by 2015, not 2021. The 2021 timeline is just the list of browsers that Silverlight 5 (NOT 4!) will support until then. There will be no further expansion of that list.
