Silverlight
Below are some of the links I have found useful for learning about, and developing with, the Microsoft Silverlight technologies. 

As a Visual Basic programmer you may want to start learning what Silverlight development is all about. Because Visual Basic in .NET can be used as a static or dynamic language, there are some unique opportunities emerging in Silverlight development for Visual Basic programmers. 

Microsoft Silverlight (WikiPedia)
Abstract: Microsoft Silverlight (code-named Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere or WPF/E) is a proprietary runtime for browser-based Rich Internet Applications, providing a subset of the animation, vector graphics, and video playback capabilities of Windows Presentation Foundation.

Microsoft Silverlight (Microsoft)
Abstract: Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python, and Ruby, and integrates with existing Web applications. Silverlight supports fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality video to all major browsers running on the Mac OS or Windows.

MIX 2007 Key Note.htm
Comments: This is a long video but really worth watching to understand where Silverlight fits into the application development framework. Ray Ozzie introduces the high level vision. Scott Guthrie gives the 'hands on' demos.
