The Fastest Way to Learn Silverlight 2
Silverlight 2 in Action is the only book I used to learn Silverlight 2. Packed with great example code, this book will allow you to learn Silverlight 2 from scratch or upgrade your skills from the previous versions. Learning Silverlight as an early adopter has been tough, but this book has been a lifesafer as it is the most concise resource available to get you up and running in very little time.
Looking for THE book to get on Silverlight 2.0?
This is simply hands-down the best book on Silverlight 2.0 on the market to date. Campbell not only has an understanding of the intricate details of the Microsoft Silverlight platform that rivals nearly anyone on the planet, but he also has that rare gift of being able to break it down into a form that is readable and valuable to any person on their path of utilizing Silverlight to develop rich web applications (from novice to pro).
I can't rave enough about how accurate this book is (especially in an age where books are written before the product is finalized). Though it is one of the first books out on the subject, it even contains the absolute latest changes Microsoft made to the platform before RTW (for example, Databinding on the DataGrid). It's all there.
Overall this book deserves a spot on your library, especially if you consider yourself a web developer.
