What is Silverlight and how is it used in this course?
Silverlight is a cross-platform, cross-browser plug-in for running .NET applications on Windows and Mac using Internet Explorer, Safari and FireFox browsers. This course provides an introduction to Silverlight. WPF provides the UI toolkit for creating UIs for Silverlight, so most of the course relates to Silverlight development. This course also covers accessing Silverlight applications from the browser using JavaScript and integrating Silverlight applications into existing Web sites.
