SlLogo As a developer, it is obvious that Silverlight is HOT now that 2.0 betas are flowing.  There is a ton of information coming from different sources along with many demos / tutorials.  It kind of makes you wonder if WPF will remain a top-level technologies or perhaps in the future it will be absorbed into Silverlight, with all the pressure from other competing technologies for cross platform stand alone applications.

Anyway, amongst all the info out there, AppDev is providing four hours of free Silverlight 2 training.  Here is the blog post I found about it:

When was the last time you visited the Silverlight.net site?  They have added 17 Silverlight 2.0 listings to their gallery:

Some that caught my eye:

  • Silverlight Presentation Tool
  • Search Light
  • Silverlight Panorama Viewer
  • Silverlight File Explorer and Uploader
  • FlipBook
  • Silverlight Rich Text Editor
  • Spider Solitaire

Also, if you are keeping up with Silverlight, you might want to add the RSS feed from:
