Project Rosetta – from Flash to Silverlight

Last week the DPE team at Microsoft launch a new site was launched with articles especially written for flash developers and designers that want to learn about Silverlight: Project Rosetta.

To start there is a collection of 9 lessons that focus on one specific feature and explain the concept including the source code and assets. You will see that the way these lessons explain the concept to take advantage of existing skills and apply these to a new technology, Silverlight in this case.

This is the starting list of sessions (all by Rick Barazza):

• Silverlight Animations with XAML & Code
• Coded Animations
• Dragging, Easing & Inertia
• Loading Dynamic Images
• Masking & Clipping
• Color, Scale & Rotation
• Trigonometry
• Image Sequencing 
• Talking Shop
