Congratulations to Chris Anderson for the release of his book 'Pro Business Applications with Silverlight 5'. Read more about the book from the author itself.
Preparation of this edition has been an enormous task, and I’m so glad to see it finally make it out into the wild. What I had planned to be a short task of simply updating the Silverlight 4 edition of the book with the new features available in Silverlight 5 blew out to become a huge endeavour. Not only did I update the book for Silverlight 5, but I also rewrote much of the existing content to make it easier to read, and expanded upon the concepts I had covered in the previous edition (the chapter on MVVM got a huge update, as did discussion of collection views, along with many other topics). In addition, I also covered many new concepts too (such as MEF, and modularising your application). All this new content has added another 200 pages or so to the book from the previous edition.
NOTE: Expect a free chapter of this book to be published soon specially for SilverlightShow members.
