Dear Mike,

Thanks for your post, and welcome to Intersoft Solutions Community.

If you would like to develop rich Silverlight applications, you can use ClientUI directly to build your next-generation Silverlight application. Conventional Silverlight programming is not necessary, although having some background knowledge in the Silverlight fundamental is an advantage, such as the knowledge of layout, styling, data binding and templating.

You might want to jump into MVVM-based application development instead of using conventional (controller/code-behind), which offers a number of great benefits such as better testability, scalability and maintainability.

Yes, we can help you to get you started quickly. In fact, you will get highest support priority if you bought our Premeir subscription. Our support engineers will help you go through your questions and requirements -- without further costs.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Best,
Jimmy

I just finished working through "Silverlight for Dummies" so have an understanding of standard components/XAML/CodeBehind and some familiarity with WCF Data Services/ADO.Net/Entity Framework etc. I then stumbled through a couple of Silverlight component vendors and ultimately here. I'm very impressed with some of the modules as well as the "promise" of the relationship with DevForce to streamline the backend.

However, I wonder whether I should first learn conventional Silverlight components and ASP.NET data connectivity or essentially start with WebUI?

I don't mind the cost of the license but what are the downsides to be aware of??

Also, if I am willing to pay a consultant to help me get going quickly and then sporadically on a per issue basis, is this (ie including site architecture issues) something that would be available within the scope of a license package AND/OR is there some other entities willing to offer this (if an individual email me directly with rates and near term availability).
