Silverlight 2 in Action
Silverlight 2 in Action is a great book to get you started with Silverlight development. At 371 pages, it’s a short book that has enough info to get you going and act as your jumping board into Silverlight. I like the fact that each chapter is rather small but gets to the point immediately. I also like the short code snippets and the fact that relevant code is never buried into pages of code filling. Highly recommended for .NET devs looking for a Silverlight 2 jumpstart.
