As more and more resources are unveiled for Microsoft Silverlight, I will attempt to maintain an accurate list of the best resources available on the internet for Microsoft Silverlight.
For those that don’t know much about Silverlight yet, Silverlight stole the show at MIX07! I have been looking at other web development tools lately like Adobe Flex, Flash, but that combination is made to look like a Tonka toy beside the Microsoft Silverlight platform.

Silverlight is much more than a flash killer. The latest version, Silverlight 1.1 includes a version of the .net Framework! I have been playing with this latest version for the last week, and have said “Oh my gosh!” about 100 times. Its speed over JavaScript is insane. Its usability features, and speed over AJAX is crazy! As a developer, make sure you keep a close eye on Silverlight! Web 3.0 anyone?
