Google is your best friend. There are so manny resources available for Silverlight, so that is is impossible to list them all here. Some of my personal recommendations are
wrox silverlight 4 book
Channel 9 has allot of videos
concerning silverlight
browse msdn tutorials:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163404.aspx
and last but not lease
silverlight.net =>
http://www.silverlight.net/learn/videos/all/
And when you think you have a good understanding of the workings of silverlight / WPF you can switch to the MVVM pattern:

Check the official website of SilverLight which is http://www.silverlight.net/.
It contains videos and tutorial that you can start with.

Silverlight 5 beta is coming very soon. I want to explore Silverlight Game development skills. Could you please suggest some good sites where I can learn Silverlight game development easily. I Googled and Binged for the same but did not get good results.
Thanks in Advance.
I don't have anything for SL 5, but Mike Snow's blog has many game programming tips: http://www.michaelsnow.com/
The site used to be here: http://blogs.silverlight.net/blogs/msnow/default.aspx
For example, here's a Rendering event for your main game loop: http://blogs.silverlight.net/blogs/msnow/archive/2008/09/29/silverlight-tip-of-the-day-50-main-game-loop-revisited.aspx
I recently found out that I will be part of a project that will use Silverlight. Since I will be doing interface design for this application I was wondering if I could get help with some tips & resources.
So what are the tips that you wish you had gotten when you started with Silverlight?
And what resources have you found valuable for starting and progressing with Silverlight?
Already found a similar post but I still would like more:
Good resource for learning Silverlight 2 development
Clarification:
I will be creating the interface for an application where the back-end stuff (algorithms) are being created by a developer intern (I'm an intern also).
QuickStarts silverlight.net Quickstarts for several different topics.

What WPF books would you recommend?
GUI's written using WPF seem to be closer to a Web 2.0 feel than older Winforms development has been; do you know of any good quality references online or books which give a general overview of how to design nice WPF applications?
I saw this StackOverflow question where some GUI design books are mentioned, but am interested in information specifically for WPF.
Is WPF & SilverLight Design worth learning
Thanks!
I found WPF Unleashed to be very UI-centric and WPF Control Development to be like the next step (very advanced GUI stuff). The huge WPF book on Apress is great for in-depth coverage on the topic, but the red books on Sams would probably be better for what you're looking to get out of them.
WPF Unleashed on Amazon
WPF Control Development Unleashed on Amazon
This article gives a good beginning intro. Even though it is for the 3.0 framework, the basics are all still valid.
This one, while not being a very good comprehensive guide, gives some good information on the different WPF controls.
There are many, many resources out there, but your best bet is still probably going to be at MSDN. Now that VS2010 and the .NET framework have been released, MSDN has tons of tutorials and how-to videos on all the new stuff, including WPF.
As the title says :)
I've been waiting for Wrox to release "Professional silverlight 2.0" for ages but it's been delayed by nearly a year and I want to have a Play with silverlight.
Ignoring the silverlight.net site, does anyone know of any good beginners tutorials that focus on coding in Visual Studio instead of Blend?
Jon
I'm currently running through this set of tutorials. Have been quite useful as a very basic primer into the world of Silverlight.
I wrote a 57-page article for Wrox Press called "Jumping from ASP.NET to Silverlight 2". It is focused on ramping up on the basics, and doesn't involve Blend. And it's seven bucks.
Link is here
Jesse Liberty's blog has masses of useful learning material including tutorials and videos - highly recommended.
Take a look at this MSDN Silverlight page.
While not strictly a tutorial, my collegue has been reading Pro Silverlight in C# 2008 and from what I heard, he's very pleased with it. Sure, it's not free, but maybe it'll hold you over until Professional silverlight 2.0 is released? :)
I've been looking at Silverlight 2 In Action and Silverlight 2 Unleashed and pretty happy with both
While not exactly tutorials, the videos on the MS official Silverlight website has good videos on all kinds of topics.
start here
http://silverlight.net/Learn/
And watch the many screencasts here

Videos have been very helpful to me:

With the asp.net MVC framework the blogs of the team members (Rob Conery, Phil Haack etc) really helped me on my way and made me feel comfortable the development was going in the right direction.
Is there something similar for Silverlight?
-Edit:
I would like to mention that I would like to find members of the dev team themselves.
Currently the support for Silverlight across OS and browser is just too poor to make me care and invest time in it.
But I would like to keep a spying eye out so I can start caring when the framework fulfils it's potentials.

at least this is some excerpt from my blog reader
Scott Guthrie the product manager of .NET Framework writes form time to time about Silverlight in his blog. He reports about new releases and the feature they come with it and sometimes he posts some really nice tutorials to give examples how to use these features.
But of course the blog's focus lies more on the whole .NET Framework as only on Silverlight.
