SO i have searched on stackoverflow and there does not seem to be any answers for this. So if you can, What is the best way to actually fully learn silverlight? I have books on it but it seems by the time you get to Chapter 15 out of 30 chapters you already sort of forgot what you learned and have to start again. Trying to jump right in seems more frustrating since you don’t have any idea what the tools at your disposal is or how to construct things.
I learned by diving in and building an application, along with a book (Matthew MacDonald, “Pro Silverlight 2 in C# 2008”, ISBN 9781590599495) and lots of googling, watching videos, http://www.silverlight.net, and some help from Stack Overflow.
But I guess it really depends on how you learn best, and what you want to do with it.
The basics of it come down to knowing XAML, Blend (maybe), and how to build services.
I found it a steep learning curve, but now have a fairly major line of business app in production. I find that it’s certainly a lot more productive than trying to build a similar app using browser technologies (HTML/Ajax/jquery, etc.)
Hope that helps…
