copied!<p>Let's tackle this systematically, because there is a lot to learn and there is a lot of information out there. You may want to start with Microsoft's resources first, as they are highly reviewed, and all in one place, and we're working hard to create a lot of them to produce a smooth on-ramp. Then, when you are comfortable, you can certainly branch out to other resources as well.</p> <p>My advice would be to memorize this URL: <a href="http://silverlight.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://silverlight.net</a></p> <p>Just about everything you'll need for some time is there.</p> <p>Here is how I'd go about getting started, but there are lots of alternative paths as well...</p> <ol> <li><p>Go to the [getting started page][1] but don't download everything you see. Focus on just the big green numbers 1 and 2, that is the links to download Visual Studio 2000, the tools for Beta 2 VS 200, and the Beta 1 pack as well as the Blend 2.5 June 2008 preview. </p></li> <li><p>Click on Learn on the menu (or click [here][2] ) and watch on lien or download the first video, the Silverlight install experience. </p></li> <li><p>Assuming you haven't worked in Silverlight or WPF before, I'd take a look at our [showcase][3] applications, just to get a sense of what can be done with Silverlight. </p></li> <li><p>Once you've done that, the order of videos I’ve recommended in the past is in [this blog entry.][4] (which you'll see is where i cribbed these notes from)</p></li> </ol> <p>Once the basics are under your belt, be sure to check out our expanding collection of [tutorials][5], [videos][6], [webcasts][7], and we have a lot more on the way, including forthcoming books, and a number of alternatives. Also, tomorrow I start a monthly blog cast with [Sparkling Client][8] which I hope will be fun and informative.</p> <p>Finally, when you have questions, you certainly can ask here (this looks like a tremendous resource!) but if they are Silverlight related you may also want to post them on our [forums][9] </p> <p>Hope that helps.</p> <p>-jesse liberty</p>
