One Tweet by Oliver Sturm (http://twitter.com/olivers) the other day got me to thinking. He was asking about the possibility to host graphics for a web site in XAML format, and the best way to render it. Currently, there are 3 possible ways that I know of to render XAML in a web browser Loading the XAML file directly in an IFRAME will trigger Windows Presentation Foundation on the client (if available). The IFRAME can be positioned in the page so the it "blends" with the HTML page. That’s only for Windows (IE and Firefox) and requires .NET 3.0 (or preferably 3.5/3.5 SP1) installed on the client. I wouldn’t recommend that solution. Silverlight can load loose XAML files. However, Silverlight XAML is less powerful than WPF XAML. Not all controls and features are supported. Also, it requires a plug-in to be installed on the client. The plug-in is available for a number of platforms, but still. More lightweight than solution 1, but sti...

Silverlight 2 Unleashed: Table of Content
From: blog.galasoft.ch
Post Date: 2008-09-14 07:38:59

I am currently attending a workshop for Siemens in Chicago’s suburb, and also staying for the weekend. In fact it feels pretty weird because for the first time since a year, I don’t feel the pressure of "must write" on my shoulders, and I can actually spend some time thinking of something else than Silverlight 2 Unleashed... Which is why I am now writing a book about Silverlight 2 Unleashed (available on pre-order at Amazon and to be published really soon :) I finished ... more
Sams Silverlight 2 Unleashed (was: Teach Yourself Silverlight in 24 Hours)

My editor at Sams (hey Neil :)) and I decided to convert the book I am almost done writing into an Unleashed. There are multiple reasons for that, the most important being that the book addresses multiple audiences, and has a broad range of coverage, which is typical of the Unleashed series. The content goes enough in depth (according to Neil) to be placed in the Unleashed series. While the Unleashed series usually targets more advanced users than the Teach Yourself... more

I’ve been working since September 2007 (more or less) on an upcoming Silverlight book titled "Teach Yourself Silverlight in 24 Hours" at Sams. This book will be aimed at beginners with the technology (and maybe even beginners in programming). The reader is walked (with a lot of code samples and step-by-step examples) through most features of this amazing technology. The book has 24 chapters, each of them taking more or less (maybe rather a little more than a l... more
