Good resource for learning Silverlight 2 Development?

Now that Silverlight 2 has been released, I'm looking for good resources to learn Silverlight. I messed around with v1, but I chose at that point to wait until 2 was out before getting heavily involved.

I would prefer a book, but it seems that it will be a few months before major publishers release (Wrox, for example).

Any good resources? Bonus points if you are actually doing development in Silverlight 2 :)

• I recently heard Jonas Follesoe at NZ TechEd. He was really good. There is a lot of good information on his blog

• Scott Guthrie linked to a bunch of good resources. I've dabbled and will get more serious with these:

  Also, "How to learn Silverlight": http://tocode.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-learn-silverlight.html

  A bit dated and simple though.

• Also worth having a listen to "Billy Hollis on WPF and Silverlight 2.0" on DotNetRocks

  to hear what is currently being done with the technology.

  From Skittles

• I have a few articles for getting the plumbing for your Silverlight 2 applications working, check out http://www.dimebrain.com.

  In the meantime, if you want content to learn right now, I recommend visiting http://www.manning.com and buying their EAP (early access program) books: Hacking Silverlight 2, Silverlight 2 in Action, and Hello Silverlight 2. They aren't complete but you're getting the content as it's being written.

  Update:

  You preferred a book format, so here is a mini-book I wrote for ramping up with Silverlight 2 from ASP.NET:

  Wrox Blox: Jumping from ASP.NET to Silverlight 2

  From Daniel Crenna

• I'd recommend the Sparkling Client podcast and it even features the infamous Jesse Liberty. In addition I'd recommend the blogs of Brad Abrams, Mike Snow, Pete Brown, Michael Sync and Scott Morrison.

  Our team has just completed development on a rather intense Silverlight 2 application and I'm planning on sharing some of our experiences, lessons learnt and guidance on my blog over here.

  I hope this was useful.

  Daniel Crenna : Don't forget Tim Heuer in your list, his blog is essential reading for Silverlight 2.

  Craig Nicholson : Too true, I can't believe I didn't list him.

• You may also want to check out the concise list of tools required/available at Silverlight 2 Released: New controls, tools, announcements! on Tim Heuer's blog.

  It also includes information about how to do free Silverlight 2.0 development using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition.

• There are some good videos and training courses on Channel9 too.
