With this guide, we want to open a small series and invite authors to take part in this initiative. The next step will be the Silverlight 4 and ASP.NET MVC manuals, so send your links to articles or materials on msugvn [at] gmail.com or in a personal. In addition, it would be nice to make corporate design for brochures, so we invite designers to also contribute.

Thanks for attention!
