Pro Business Application with Silverlight 4
Silverlight is a web-based platform from Microsoft that can be used to build rich Internet applications
(RIAs). Of the many new possibilities it enables, one receiving a lot of attention is its huge potential as a
platform for building business applications. Despite its relative youth (having just reached its third
birthday), it has achieved remarkable maturity, with its development progressing at a rapid rate—now at
version 4. With just nine months separating versions 2 and 3, and a further nine months separating
versions 3 and 4, its tremendous growth in that short time demonstrates the enormous amount of effort

and become ever more popular. Continue Reading »
