    <p>In all honesty, get yourself upgraded to VS 2010. If you are serious about becoming a professional in Silverlight development, version 4 has the most bang-for-your-buck. </p> <p>Not all the newer technologies are supported for Silverlight 3 and all the latest cool tutorials and project examples tend to be in VS2010/SL4.</p> <p>You also should not ignore patterns like MVVM and libraries like Prism &amp; MEF as they are rapidly becoming commonplace for Silverlight projects. There is more danger of you getting into Win-forms-style bad habits if you use a Win-forms style approach to Silverlight at first.</p> <p>Here is a simple explanation of MVVM for Silverlight: <a href="http://openlightgroup.net/Blog/tabid/58/EntryId/89/Silverlight-View-Model-Style-An-Overly-Simplified-Explanation.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://openlightgroup.net/Blog/tabid/58/EntryId/89/Silverlight-View-Model-Style-An-Overly-Simplified-Explanation.aspx</a></p> <p>These videos are a good introduction to creating/understanding Prism-based projects, specifically for Silverlight: <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/mtaulty/Prism--Silverlight-Part-1-Taking-Sketched-Code-Towards-Unity/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/mtaulty/Prism--Silverlight-Part-1-Taking-Sketched-Code-Towards-Unity/</a> It includes him building an Outlook-style application using prism (with full source provided).</p> <p>The codeplex project, full source and documents etc, for Prism and soon MEF is here: <a href="http://compositewpf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Getting%20Started&amp;referringTitle=Home" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://compositewpf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Getting%20Started&amp;referringTitle=Home</a> Prism was created by Microsoft and will soon have a final release of version 4 (including MEF).</p>
