About this book
- Discusses advanced design and deployment concepts for building loosely coupled web applications together with the latest Microsoft best practices for integrating LINQ, WCF, and Silverlight Mobile functionality
- Walks the reader through the entire development process using a case study application as a test bed to demonstrate concepts
- Provides readers with real code they can use in evaluating their own situations
- Written by a highly experienced developer in a senior position with a big-four accountancy firm, which has given him a firm grounding in developing enterprise applications
The book begins with a clear discussion of why Silverlight is such a good choice for developing RIAs and the implications that this has for your development decisions. The options available will be demonstrated by constructing a simple web–based training portal for a fictional enterprise, which will be extended and altered to demonstrate the techniques and methods that you have available to you. This includes accessing data using WCF and LINQ, and considering how best to deploy your finished Silverlight application when it is complete. The book also discusses the future of Silverlight for mobile and how to plan for its release.
This book is unique in that it focuses on how Silverlight can be applied in today’s business environment rather than simply delving into the product’s syntax and grammar in isolation. Silverlight is discussed in context with consideration given to security, scalability, and deployment. As such this book makes an excellent addition to any Silverlight library and extends your knowledge into practical areas that are rarely discussed.
