Hello! Silverlight 2 coming to a bookstore near you
Dave Campbell and I have been busy working on a beginning Silverlight book for Manning Publications called Hello! Silverlight 2. It's one of a new series for Manning, best known for their "in Action" series, like Silverlight 2 in Action by Chad Campbell and John Stockton.
This book is a different from their traditional books in that it's not meant to be a complete guide to Silverlight, but rather is meant to get you up and going quickly by highlighting important concepts. It also is meant to be a fun read, with humor from the User Friendly characters throughout the book.
Along with covering concepts for developing typical business applications, there are also a couple of chapters devoted to developing a game in Silverlight. These chapters take a simple game and cover everything from beginning to end in creating the game.
You can check out the first chapter at http://www.manning.com/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=1025_129 and can sign up for the electronic drafts if you want to get an early look and provide feedback as we finish the book off.
