<p>I’m very pleased and proud to announce that my newest book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=059652756X/libertyassocia00A/">Programming .NET 3.5</a>, is available, and more important that it may be the most unusual book I’ve ever written. As noted in <a href="https://silverlight.net/blogs/jesseliberty">my primary blog</a> it was our theory; generated long before I started work at Microsoft, that while there was good reason to write what I call “silo” books on each of the .NET technologies (e.g., WPF, WCF, etc.) there was a coherence to the entire Microsoft framework that was potentially missed by that approach. </p>
<p>Our other theory was that .NET 3.5 (broadly defined) was the first version of .NET to fully facilitate the development of n-tier applications and MVC (imagine our shock when Microsoft developed the MVC library for ASP.NET!) </p>
<p>This book was also a blast to write, and even more exceptional, my co-author, Alex Horovitz, launched his own writing career out of it, quickly following with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Programming-ASP-NET-MVC-Alex-Horovitz/dp/0596521855/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218894753&sr=1-2">Programming ASP.NET MVC</a> to be released shortly. </p>

<p>Since the first one was <em>not </em>recorded I’ve redone it as a video and it will be posted soon. </p>

If you’ve used McAfee’s SiteAdvisor to flag potentially dangerous web searches, the new Yahoo/McAfee dangerous web site team-up will look familiar to you. I went to <A HREF="https://search.yahoo.com/">Yahoo Search</a> and searched for <EM>free downloads</em> since I was pretty sure it would result in a few dangerous sites being listed in the search results. I found it interesting that McAfee highlighted the sponsored search result as a dangerous site. This is a good thing since it indicates that they aren’t playing favorites.</p>

<p>A day late on this one, but still worthy of a post,</p>
<p><a title="First Moonlight Release - Miguel de Icaza" href="https://tirania.org/blog/archive/2008/May-13-1.html">First Moonlight Release - Miguel de Icaza</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Today we are making the first public release of Moonlight, supporting the Silverlight 1.0 profile for Linux. The release comes in two forms:</p>
<p> * No-media codecs supported, but easy to install: head to https://www.go-mono.com/moonlight and click on the cute installer for Moonlight. This currently hosts builds for Linux x86 and x86-64 for Firefox.<br />
* Source-code compilation, but you can optionally compile FFMpeg codecs yourself. To do this, download our moon-0.6.tar.bz2. And follow the build instructions.</p></blockquote>

<p>Congratulations, Mono Project developers!</p>
