Course - Developing Rich Interactive Applications (RIA) using Microsoft Silverlight

Course Synopsis

One of the latest buzzwords you often hear nowadays is RIA, or Rich Internet Applications. Rich Internet applications (RIA) are Web applications that have the features and functionality of traditional desktop applications. To Microsoft, RIA stands for Rich Interactive Applications, which is really their main focus when they recently announced the latest product known as Silverlight.

Microsoft® Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.
