Finally, Silverlight 3 is released out to the wild! Download it right now at the official microsoft silverlight page.
As usual, make sure you drop by Silverlight.net and download everything you need to get started with Silverlight 3!
Make sure you read the extensive post by ScottGu on all the awesome goodness of Silverlight 3. To be honest the feature that excites me the most is Perspective 3D, I just can’t stop talking about it because its just so cool, think of the possibilities!
Here’s an excerpt from ScottGu’s post on Perspective 3D
Silverlight 3 also adds new perspective 3D support that can be used with graphic elements, videos and controls. Silverlight 3 also includes new bitmap and pixel APIs, as well as the ability to create and apply custom pixel shader effects (e.g. blur, dropshadow, swirl, etc) to any image, video element, or control. Easing support can also now be used to enable more textured motion within animations.
I am gonna make sure I’ll keep my eyes wide open on any cool Perspective 3D goodness out in the wild.
