If you're working with Silverlight and you don't have a copy of John Papa's Data-Driven Services with Silverlight 2, you're spending too much time somewhere.
When I finished Chapter 2 and thought I was done... wow what a bunch of stuff still remained! REST, WCF, JSON, LINQ, Entities, and on and on. Lots of detail, and lots of code on the pages (for those of us that think better that way).
I'm thinking about buying the eBook version just so this one doesn't get as ragged as Petzold's "Programming Windows" did back in the day :) ... if you wear out an eBook... you're definitely using it!
Even if you're a little light on concepts, John explains his way into everything so that you're not looking around for more resources. An absolute one-stop-shop for Silverlight and data... go buy it, you won't be sorry!
