    The book 'Advanced MVVM' has a quick review posted by Laurent Duveau.

    Sometimes I am asked if books exists on MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel). So you have this little book I read a while ago, Advanced MVVM by Josh Smith. I like this kind of book which go straight to the real content (only 52 pages).

    The author chose to illustrate MVVM with a game instead of a business application, it can seems weird at first but anyway... Also the book covers MVVM implemented with WPF, not Silverlight, but this is just a question of view and the pattern is more than that, so that should not disturb you from learning MVVM even if you only do Silverlight apps. What you read in the book can be applied to Silverlight as well. If you want something specific with Silverlight you can start with this link:

  • Review of the book 'Silverlight 4 and SharePoint 2010 Integration'

    David Kelley did a quick review of the book 'Silverlight 4 and SharePoint 2010 Integration' (the book is available with 20% discount for SilverlightShow community).

    The chapters are broken out in detail covering related topics from just creating a web part in sharepoint (which if you have never done it before is a pain and having it well documented in a book is great) to WCF, RIA, Rich Media and all the points in between. The book isn't thick and short on words but as mentioned lots of examples which is what is important to me.

    Emil Stoychev posted a quick review of the book 'Microsoft Silverlight 4 Business Application Development' on his blog.

    As the authors Frank LaVigne and Cameron Albert say this beginner’s guide in Silverlight 4 Business Application Development walks you through the wow factors of creating interactive RIAs and quickly start building business applications. The examples in the book are structured in a clear step by step manner, making you eager to start exploring the features right away. After the brief “Time for action” instructions there is a great “What just happened?” section which makes an overall look at the described feature and will certainly give you ideas for your own work.
