On October 18th Microsoft officially released Silverlight 2.0. From silverlight.net:
"Microsoft Silverlight extends and amplifies your existing development
skills, empowering you to build new types of applications for the Web
regardless of target platform or browser."
|
Microsoft is hoping that Silverlight will come to market as a viable competitor to Adobe System's FLEX platform for delivering the next generation of Rich Internet Applications (RIA). Using the power and extensibility of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Sliverlight is set to bring the flexibility and design absolutes that Windows Forms designers enjoy. Silverlight uses the same XAML interface design language (think Application XML) that WPF applications are built on, making the transition from desktop to web a painless one.
Stay tuned for a Tech Studio review on the new Silverlight SDK and Toolkit that was updated with this release.
