Silverlight 2 Tips and Tricks Resources
At TechED I promised to post some links to resources on Silverlight 2, specifically around Tips and Tricks. When prepping for this session, I could easily have done around 30 tips. I ended up covering just 12 and even that was a little rushed. The resources below should help you in understanding the various areas better.
Videos from Silverlight.NET
There are a number of good videos covering some of the areas I showed, including Isolated Storage, the Install Experience, Visual State Manager, ASP.NET Application Services, Dynamic Loading of Assemblies and HTML Integration. Some of my samples were adapted from these.

Screencasts from Mike Taulty and Mike Ormond.
All 52 of them. Some of them cover similar topics to above. You can also find some screencasts on DeepZoom.
