“Simple MVVM Toolkit for Silverlight” v1 Release

If you’ve made a decision to start using the Model-View-ViewModel pattern (abbreviated as MVVM) for Silverlight development, you’re faced with a rather steep learning curve and a scarcity of of accepted standards and best practices.  I’ve read no less than three Silverlight books. All of them have a chapter on MVVM, in which the pattern is explained and some fairly basic examples are provided.
