Getting Started with Silverlight: Zero to Hero

Lots of people have been asking about how to get started with Silverlight, and what they need to do to get up and running with Silverlight quickly. Inspired by blog posts such as Jesse Liberty's, I'm going to take this from first principles, with no prior knowledge assumed. So let's get started with the first and most simple application - a 'Hello World' in Silverlight. You need no special tools for this. Just notepad will do...

What benefit does this give over using Javascript? Seems like the same amount of code.

I cannot get the silverlight to run on my server, which is at 1and1.com.

I have created a folder off of the root named scripts. Into this folder I have loaded the files

code.js CreateSilverlight.js helloworld.htm page.xaml Silverlight.js

I have modified the helloworld.htm file so that the scripts are loaded from /scripts for all of the js files.

I have also changed the CreateSilverlight.js file to load the source from the /scripts folder.

source: "/scripts/page.xaml"

There are no error messages. All I get is a blank web page. When I look at the source I get the following.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "[visit link]">

ZeroHero

.silverlightHost { height: 480px; width: 640px; }

createSilverlight();

Any ideas?
