Welcome to Silverlight Games 101
On April 30, 2007, Microsoft announced Silverlight 1.1 which I feel will change web development forever. Silverlight 1.1 allows developers to create rich cross-browser and cross-platform web applications using managed code such as C#.
This blog will focus on topics related to developing Silverlight games in managed code. Since I am most comfortable with C#, all sample code will be in C# format, but it could be written in any managed language including VB.Net and even IronPython.
Even though we will focus on game development here, many of the concepts will be useful to non-gaming applications.
Please be aware that Silverlight 1.1 is currently an Alpha release meaning interfaces, class definitions, and pretty much anything else can change before the official release. I will do my best to make sure that the code samples here remain up to datw with the latest version of Silverlight.
