    This article is Part 5 of the series on Microsoft Silverlight Exam:

    Time flies when you’re having fun and meanwhile learning something. That certainly goes for me while I create these articles; I hope it’s the same for you when you read them. If you kept track, we have now arrived at part 5 already, so we are slowly approaching the end of the series. However, this very part is shaping up to be a large one, as you can see. It also covers a lot of interesting material in Silverlight, as we’ll soon see!

    Whereas all previous parts looked at features of Silverlight itself, this part is focusing on the things that happen around Silverlight so to say.

    This article is Part 4 of the series on Microsoft Silverlight Exam:

    We are making great progress in our Silverlight Exam series, we are now in the fourth part already. A quick look back on the previous parts shows that we started with a deep look at the layout and UI-related material. In the second part, we looked at enhancing the UI using features such as the Visual State Manager. In the previous part, the focus was mainly on the coding part, including topics such as dependency properties, the ICommand interface and working asynchronously with services.

    This fourth part will focus on a very important aspect: data.

    This article is Part 3 of the series on Microsoft Silverlight Exam:

    In the previous parts of this series on getting yourself ready for the Silverlight exam, we mainly looked at UI related items. In the very first part, we looked at how Silverlight could help with layout, navigation, media and the core controls. In part 2, we focused on the many features Silverlight has on board to create better user interfaces, such as the Visual State Manager, styling, templating and animations.

    This third part is going to be more aimed at the code-side of things. We’ll start our journey by looking at specifics of Silverlight such as routed events (these also exist in WPF by the way and asynchronous communication with services.

    This article is Part 2 of the series on Microsoft Silverlight Exam:

    In the first part of this article series, we focused on learning the skills required for the layout-related questions and topics in the Silverlight exam (70-506). We looked at the layout containers (such as the Grid and the ScrollViewer), the basic controls (such as the TextBlock, CheckBox and the Button), how to create user controls, the navigation framework, displaying collections in controls such as the ListBox and finally at how the MediaElement can be used to playback media.

    In this part, we’ll stay in the say theme let’s say: we’ll look at Enhancing the User Interface.

    This article is Part 1 of the series on Microsoft Silverlight Exam:

    Silverlight is a rapid-evolving technology. Over a time span of 3 years, it has evolved from being a JavaScript-based platform to a full .NET implementation. With 4 versions released and version 5 in the pipeline at the time of writing, Silverlight has more versions than .NET! That makes it hard for book writers such as me to keep up with new features being added.

    It seems to me that it’s also difficult to create and manage exams about Silverlight. For the previous versions of Silverlight, there weren’t any exams available. Silverlight 4 is the first version of which an exam is being created. It was possible to take the beta-exam late 2010; the exam will be officially open in Q1 2011. More information about the exam can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/Exam.aspx?ID=70-506&Locale=en-us

    With this guide, I aim to make the preparation for the exam a bit easier.
