I was reading through Mike Francis's blog and saw a rather useful offer from Microsoft for free eBooks on LINQ, ASP.NET Ajax, and Silverlight 2.0. If you are interested all you have to do is register and you can download the eBooks. I'll be teaching a Silverlight class in a little over a month so I hope to review the Silverlight book fairly soon so that I can consider recommending it to the students.
