It was once common knowledge that anyone interested in
making Web-based games must learn Flash and ActionScript.
Things have changed with Silverlight 4-now you can
leverage your existing C# language skills to produce high-
quality and feature-rich games for the Web. Pro Game
Design with Silverlight 4 teaches you how to build a
flexible and feature-rich Web-based game engine using
Microsoft's Silverlight 4 Web plug-in for Safari,
Firefox, and Internet Explorer. You'll learn the
fundamentals of game design and how to implement them in
a flexible and highly re-usable Silverlight game
"template," or engine. Throughout this discovery process,
you will find new and innovative ways to apply the C#
programming language and XAML markup language.
