Synopsis
Silverlight 4 has the potential to revolutionize the way we build business applications. With its flexibility, web deployment, cross-platform capabilities, rich .NET language support on the client, rich user interface control set, small runtime, and more, it comes close to the perfect platform in which to build business applications. It's a very powerful technology, and despite its relative youth, it's moving forward at a rapid pace and is gaining widespread adoption.
This book will guide you through the process of designing and developing enterprise-strength business applications in Silverlight 4 and C#. You will learn how to take advantage of the power of Silverlight to develop rich and robust business applications, from getting started to deployment, and everything in between.
In particular, this book will serve developers who want to learn how to design business applications, and tackle the issues that you'll face, and how to resolve them. Chris Anderson demonstrates his experience through a candid presentation of how to approach real-life implementation decisions.
With this book in hand, you will
- Create a fully functional business application in Silverlight
- Discover how to satisfy all of the common requirements that most business applications share
What you'll learn - How to structure your project to ensure a robust and maintainable application
- How to create user interfaces with XAML and bind controls to data
- How to communicate securely between the server and the client
