title: RIA Services and silverlight applications
body: <p>I'm new to silverlight, and always when reading silverlight tutorials they talk about <strong>RIA services.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I know that silverlight is a client application and talks to servers via services that have  valid binding for silverlight(BasicHttpBinding...)</p>
  
  <p>So what are RIA services? and what is the difference between RIA services and the normal web services?</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me to a good tutorial that makes me understand how silverlight work in depth.</p>
