Starting out in Silverlight

I am looking into Silverlight and how to develop applications within DevStudio – the world of RIA and presentation has changed so much and Microsoft is still in a state of flux so this two websites make life easier for the old guy to get into the bright new thing.

Getting ANKH subversion integration to work with VS2008

I am currently upgrading to vs2008 and using subversion for source control. Up to now I have been using a little visual studio plugin called Ankh to work with DevStudio but for some bizarre reason I could not get it to work with vs2008.
