The very best programming/instructional book I've ever read

Helps you get started in understanding how to develop in Silverlight.

Microformats: Empowering Your Markup for Web 2.0
John Allsopp
friends of ED, 2007
Excellent Resource
Few books actually give the why and reasoning behind various technologies. For instance, pick up that latest Java book and what do you find? Someone's simply dumped the API, but that does really tell you about how to use the information. Such things bug me.
