The document outlines the steps for a practical task involving loading data from Excel into a Silverlight application and storing it in an SQL database. The steps include: 1) searching the Excel document for errors, 2) saving it in a normalized format, 3) extracting, analyzing and normalizing the data structure, 4) creating database tables, 5) building a Silverlight app with a navigation interface, web service and data access layer to load the normalized data and 6) presenting the working application. The document provides details on each step of the process.
