A friend of mine posted the Epic Split[^] which is truly an amazing stunt.
But what caught my eye afterwards was the Hamster Stunt[^].

Puberty. Pretty soon, we all will hate CP.

You got it the wrong way round. When CP will reach puberty it will hate all of us and start to think it knows everything better.
This may already have happend and is likely manifesting itself in some awkward, self-righteous and I-know-better-than-you attitude driven accounts.
That's some advanced level of AI!

In my defence, I don't have kids. So yes, I was wrong and I will accept it. Have a five (Well, that held water sometime back).

Reading 'Silverlight 4 in Action' book by Pete Brown.
Concepts explained in a very simplistic and easy to understand manner. It is a very good book.
|
|
|
|

Too bad Silverlight is dead as a development platform. It won't be developed any further than bug fixes for release 5.1.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for info. But I think still Microsoft has not officially said about stopping Silverlight development. If it does, atleast for few more years SL Support will be there - i.e., till 2021 according to this site: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean45[^]
btw, learning Silverlight helps getting to know about some of the WPF concepts further as its kind of subset to Wpf.

So why not to learn WPF first ?
Thanks,

With the proliferation of Android and iOS tablets and phones, starting a new project using targeting Silverlight is ill advised. IMHO, you'd be much better off learning ASP .NET MVC and the plethora of JS frameworks.

Actually, they have. Read this[^] and donwload and read the 70-page document linked to in the first paragraph.
MS want's Silverlight gone by 2015, not 2021. The 2021 timeline is just the list of browsers that Silverlight 5 (NOT 4!) will support until then. There will be no further expansion of that list.

Thanks Dave, thank you so much for providing this valuable information.
Our current project is in SL4. Anyhow transition should happen (to Html5).
|
|
|
|
|
So why are you reading Silverlight 4 in Action? Why not Silverlight 5?
|
|
|
|

Hi Pete,
Our current App is in SL4.

Right, I need to keep that IP spoofing up even still. Thank you for kindly keeping me on point.

You're still around, clearly you're doing something right. Do you have any tips on that?
|

Well, don't carry a cell phone - its far worse than letting your IP fly once in a while. Too many people can get at that, and everything you say can and will be used against you. I am behind a VPN right now, but my IP changes frequently anyhow.
