Description

Introduction:Silverlight is a robust application framework for developing rich internet applications, akin to Adobe Flash. This comprehensive course guides you through the fundamentals of Silverlight, from creating your first application to building advanced, feature-rich projects. Designed for aspiring developers and professionals, this course combines hands-on tutorials and real-world projects to equip you with the skills to excel in Silverlight development.Section-Wise Writeup:Section 1: Foundations of Silverlight DevelopmentBegin your journey with an introduction to the Silverlight platform and its tools. Learn to install Silverlight using the Web Platform Installer and create your first Silverlight application. This section focuses on the essential controls like buttons, checkboxes, mouse events, and image controls. Explore advanced topics like transforms (rotate, skew, and matrix), canvas and stack controls, and the Deep Zoom Composer. By the end, you'll also learn animation techniques and how to run Silverlight applications out of the browser with features like elevated trust mode and network connectivity handling.Section 2: Silverlight Project #1This section is dedicated to your first large-scale Silverlight project. You'll follow a step-by-step approach to apply your newly acquired skills in a practical scenario. Starting with project setup, each subsequent lecture guides you through various phases, ensuring you build a complete, functional application. Emphasis is placed on debugging, application design, and utilizing Silverlight's rich set of features effectively.Section 3: Silverlight Project #2In this section, tackle a more complex Silverlight project that challenges your understanding and skills. Cover advanced application requirements such as bridging Silverlight with HTML, accessing network services, and integrating browser functionalities. This multi-phase project pushes the boundaries of what you can create, culminating in a professional-grade application ready for deployment.Conclusion:By completing this course, you'll gain a thorough understanding of Silverlight's capabilities and become proficient in designing, developing, and deploying both simple and advanced applications. Whether you’re new to Silverlight or aiming to enhance your expertise, this course provides a robust foundation and the confidence to create feature-rich web and desktop applications.
