MICROSOFT SILVERLIGHT
| Course Description |
|
Microsoft’s Silverlight is a new client-side web technology that enables the implementation of visually stunning web applications that depend only on a small, easy-to-install plug-in that works in browsers for both Windows and Macintosh. This two-day course provides the programmer with a thorough foundation in Silverlight 1.0. After introducing the Silverlight plug-in and SDK, the course provides an in-depth survey of Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), which is also the foundation of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The course then shows how to use Silverlight to draw shapes, lines, text and images. The positioning and transformation of elements is covered as is event handling. The course concludes with an introduction to advanced features such as animation, on-demand downloading of content, and the use of video and audio.
Course Length: 2 Days
