Pro Silverlight 2 in C# 2008 (Windows.Net)
Matthew MacDonald
Apress, 2008
Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug–in that frees your code from the traditional confines of the browser. It’s a rules–changing, groundbreaking technology that allows you to run rich client applications right inside the browser. Even more impressively, it’s able to host true .NET applications in non–Microsoft browsers (like Firefox) and on non–Microsoft ...

Exactly What the Title Says - No More No Less

Essential ActionScript 3.0 - Colin Moock
+ For a beginner as for an AS2 jumper
+ Essential ActionScript 3.0
This book is brilliant. It's encyclopedic. It is a must-have to better understand AS 3 and to hopefully lower your frustration when coding. I am a designer fairly new to AS 3 and found this book gave clear, detailed explanations on every aspect of AS 3. Like an encyclopedia, each chapter breaks ...

ActionScript 3.0 Bible 11 reviews

Wiley, 2007
Great for learning AS3
+ A good book on AS3, but not a language reference
Contradictory to most "Bibles" this book is not a thorough reference guide, meaning it does not break down every function or object with all of the property and methods. However, the examples are very clear and it's an excellent book to learn what you need and why you want it about Actionscript. ...

Christian Wenz
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008
Good Introductory Silverlight 2 Book
+ Not bad but I was hoping it would be more like a Nutshell book
I don't think there's any pretense made about this book not being an introductory book, and as such, I think it does a great job from the ground up.
The add-in sections idea is a clever concept for a technology that's not fully baked yet. How do you get material out the to people clamoring for ...
