* Learn how Silverlight 2 applications bind, pass, read, save, query, and present data

* Discover how your application can call web services to work with SOAP, REST, RSS, AtomPub, POX and JSON

* Design REST, ASMX, and WCF web services that communicate with Silverlight 2

* Harness RESTful web services such as Digg, Amazon, and Twitter

* Retrieve and save data using the new Entity Framework and WCF

* Work with RESTful ADO.NET Data Services and its Silverlight client library to move data between your Silverlight application and a database
