Silverlight 4 / RIA book

Question

I'm looking for a Silverlight 4 book that includes

• best-practices (Silverlight 4, WCF RIA, MVVM, audio / video, localization, security, etc.)
• How-To-chapters for WPF developers (how to solve the same problem with WPF, e.g. Encoding.ASCII), differences in API between .Net Frameworks and Silverlight assemblies
• designer perspective (Expression Blend)
• programmer perspective (Visual Studio 2010)

Answer 1

The Silverlight 4 book I'm planning on getting is Silverlight In Action by Pete Brown. His revised version of the book, to be published at the end of July, will cover a lot of the new Silverlight 4 features.

Personally, I'm interested in his presentation of MVVM and WCF RIA Services (I can't find any other book that will be covering RIA services). You can get a better summary of the book at Manning's website: http://www.manning.com/pbrown/.

I'm currently reading Pro Silverlight 3 in VB by Matthew MacDonald (a C# version of the book is also available). So far the book has been great, but naturally it's missing all of the 4.0 features. The author is great and keeps publishing new content, so keep an eye out for his next iteration.
