✦ Synopsis

The beginning of the book looked very promising. I really appreciate the example and explanation approach. However, starting from chapter 2 the sample code includes references to assemblies and namespaces that are not included. There is no explanation of these in the book and the book also assumes you are using the code as your starting point. With un-explained reference errors, the book (and code examples) are worthless. I am also assuming that they developed the code examples with a beta build of Silverlight 4. In the meantime, I will just put this book on the shelf and hope that the authors update the sample code. As a suggestion, the authors should try out the samples with a fresh copy of both Visual Studio 2010 and Silverlight 4 (non beta).

Thanks,
Philbert
