Introduction to Silverlight Labs 

All the labs are designed in a way to allow students to learn efficiently by doing hands on work to create useful Silverlight applications, using Microsoft Expression Blend 3 and Visual Studio.

Silverlight is a simple and useful authoring tool that allows designers and developers to create presentations, applications, and other content that enables interaction.  It enables companies to design, develop, and deliver powerful applications and experiences for the Web.  It’s a browser plug-in that works with Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and devices.
