I want to thank Reshma Sundaresan for letting me to be the book reviewer for this book and Ashwin Shetty for working closely with me on scheduling the reviewing of each chapter.

I like to thank the author of this book which he has done a very nice job with this book especially since Silverlight release several versions during the development of this book. Silverlight has gone from version 2 to version 4. This book is truly a "cookbook" it give the exposure of many features of Silverlight in a easy follow instruction.

I also want to thank my family to let me have the time to do this book review
