The past 3 days, I've been working on my article on using Silverlight with all kinds of data and services. This is in fact like a transcript of the session I did at Mix Essentials in Belgium last week, but now in tutorial-format.
First, I take you through building services that are ready to be consumed by Silverlight clients using WCF. Then, we take a look at 3 types of services your Silverlight application can connect with: self-describing (using WSDL, meta-data driven), non-self-describing services (REST APIs like Flickr...) and finally RSS.
I hope this article really helps you in finding your way in Silverlight.
I posted the article on my "article-blog", www.CodeFlakes.net. The link is the following: http://www.codeflakes.net/blog/post/Silverlight2c-Data-and-Services-The-complete-story.aspx
