New To silver light
-
First of all just to give you a little background i am a web developer with one year exp. I have went to the Microsoft site and got everything concerning Silver light but i think there is a gap i still do not know how to work with it, I was not able to continue the tutorial i got from MS. Could any one tell me what should i know as a prerequisite. Should i know WPF becuase i really do not know a thing about it. Is silver light has alot of post backs on server, which leads to performance issues?Is it heavy or light? Is there any certification on silverlight? Thanks

Knowing WPF makes the programming part of Silverlight much easier but it is not required. If you learn to write Silverlight apps, learning to write WPF apps will be simpler.

Only if you write code that does postbacks. Silverlight apps run on the client - Silverlight is NOT ASP.NET.

Huh?

Currently, no, as far as I know. If you go through the "Read Tim Heuer’s 8-part blog series on getting started" section at the "Get Started Building Silverlight 3 Applications" link I posted above, you'll be well on your way.
