Bootstrap Case

This course teaches how to use the ArcGIS API for Silverlight and the Silverlight platform to efficiently develop high-performing, engaging web applications that meet the needs of their intended audience. You will learn about the objects available in the API, how to write code for a Silverlight-based application, and how to incorporate ArcGIS services and ArcGIS Online content to enhance your applications. This course focuses on functionality available with ArcGIS 10.1 services, but many course concepts apply to ArcGIS 10.0 and 9.3.1 services.
