To: gsuttie2008. You asked, we have Ajax which is all good but what are the main benefits you guys see Silverlight giving us over what we have currently?

I highly recommend you take a look at Rockford Lhotka's article which addresses your question directly and quite well.

In short, Silverlight can, I believe, give you a richer experience with, over time, managed code; and these two facts together will make for a winning combination.

I second the recommendation of "JavaScript the Definitive Guide (Flanagan)"[1] and also suggest a good understanding of JSON[2] will help.

Actually, I don't (yet) know of any books specifically on Silverlight (though I do know that Shawn Wildermuth has an appendix in

Programming WPF 2nd ed.

by Chris Sells and Ian Griffiths

O'Reilly Media 2005 ISBN 0596510373

I intend to use the videos and documentation here, on silverlight.net (as that is the material I am responsible for) so if something is missing, it is my job to start filling in the gaps, and what better way to find out what is missing?
