For the last year (or so) it has been official that Silverlight have reached a point of maturity. From Microsoft’s point of view it means that it will not be updated as often as we have seen previously. Many see this as if the technology is dead.
In some sense I agree – a technology that won’t be upgraded is as good as dead.
Only issue here is that Silverlight is still an amazing technology and one of the best technologies for building true Line-of-Business applications for the browser and the desktop. My company still builds several Silverlight based applications – there are no real alternatives.

I’m Interested in the concepts in creating 3-D animations covered in this book.
The concept of Imitating clouds using Perlin Noise is interesting.
Interesting
I think the part regarding Sliverlight banners sounds interesting :)
Sounds like a gem for making Silverlight appear so much more smooth
Cool, love to win ;-)
My ticket to win this book…
What interest me the most about the book is learning about imitating fire and clouds using Perlin Noise.
I am interested in what way silverlight can benefit me, when i develop web applications. How i can use silverlight to visualize data and stats.
Building an Animated Banner looks interesting and may be a good solution compared to use gifs or heavy javascript
