Now that the book is finished writing, reality is catching up with me and I am finally able to work on the backlog of ideas and projects that has accumulated in the last months. Time to give an update of stuff I do or will do soon. Silverlight 2 Unleashed status On my side, the work is done and I delivered my copy to the editor. We had a small bunch of last minute corrections when Silverlight 2 RC0 made it to the web, and I am happy the good people at Sams gave me some time to clean up a few kinks.

It might very well be the last release before the final is made available, so it's a chance for people with Silverlight content to update their code. The public runtime will not be updated to RC0 automatically. So do *not*

The Silverlight 2 release candidate build has been released to developers so they can prepare for the upcoming release to web (RTW) of the product, and migrate their Beta 2 applications forward. This build has a number of functional, performance and stability related bug fixes. We’ve had to making some breaking changes along the way.
