Silverlight 2 Visual Essentials

Matthew MacDonald, "Silverlight 2 Visual Essentials"
Apress | ISBN: 1430215828 | June 3, 2008 | 240 Pages | PDF | 3.2MB

Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug–in that frees your code from the traditional confines of the browser. It is a rules–changing, groundbreaking technology that allows you to run rich client applications right inside the browser. Even more impressively, it is able to host true .NET applications in non–Microsoft browsers (like Firefox) and on non–Microsoft platforms (like Mac OS X). Silverlight is still new and evolving fast, and you need a reliable guidebook to make sense of it.

Effective Web Design


Ann Navarro, Tabinda Khan, "Effective Web Design"
Sybex | ISBN 0782128491 | April 2001 | 547 Pages | PDF | 6MB

This is a nuts and bolts coding book. In it are examples showing how to hand-code, in XHTML, sites that include images, links, tables, frames, style sheets--just about everything you might want. There's also extensive advice on planning your site design, knowing your audience, and doing e-business. The author's fundamental approach to effective Web design is what she terms the "cross-compatibility concept," which is based upon two principles: creating valid code in the first place and creating code that will cause an older browser to either pass on content it can't handle or offer "graceful degradation." This runs counter to similar books, which advise serving up different content depending upon the user's browser.
