A fast-paced, hands-on tutorial that both teaches and entertains readers as they

learn Silverlight 3 while building a complete game application.

Silverlight 3 is a user-friendly tool from Microsoft that allows developers to

easily add life to web applications with dynamic user features, colorful transitions,

and eye-catching animations.

entertaining introduction to Silverlight. In this book, User Friendly cartoon characters
