Differences between WPF and Silverlight

Xandergraph — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:06:00 GMT

I have had a question that I can’t find a good answer to. I am looking for a definitive list of the differences between WFE and Silverlight to help with the migration of WPF applications to Silverlight. The best link – supplied by Sam Noble who asked the question – is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc903925(VS.95).aspx.

If you can help further, please comment with the URL for better information.

Silverlight Training

Xandergraph — Tue, 27 May 2008 14:54:00 GMT

I am getting many questions around the availability of Silverlight training. If you are interested in training two good places to start looking are –

· Microsoft Partner Learning Centre

o There are a lot of free on demand video training, you need to sign up for the Partner Programme (takes a few mins and is free) to access the training

· Xpertise

o Xpertise have a few good courses that have availability at the moment, visit the site and type Silverlight in the search box and see what course are available

o The one that took my eye was - Developing Rich on-line Experiences using Microsoft .NET 3.0 and Microsoft Expression
