Anybody know any good silverlight tutorials?

Question

As the title says :)

I've been waiting for Wrox to release "Professional silverlight 2.0" for ages but it's been delayed by nearly a year and I want to have a Play with silverlight.

Ignoring the silverlight.net site, does anyone know of any good beginners tutorials that focus on coding in Visual Studio instead of Blend?

Answer 1

I'm currently running through this set of tutorials. Have been quite useful as a very basic primer into the world of Silverlight.

Answer 2

Take a look at this MSDN Silverlight page.

Answer 3

While not strictly a tutorial, my collegue has been reading Pro Silverlight in C# 2008 and from what I heard, he's very pleased with it. Sure, it's not free, but maybe it'll hold you over until Professional silverlight 2.0 is released? :)

Answer 4

I've been looking at Silverlight 2 In Action and Silverlight 2 Unleashed and pretty happy with both

Answer 5

I wrote a 57-page article for Wrox Press called "Jumping from ASP.NET to Silverlight 2". It is focused on ramping up on the basics, and doesn't involve Blend. And it's seven bucks.
