Silverbullet?
May 1st, 2007
Well this Silverlight stuff has definitely got me exited. There is a lot of talk about it. Robert Scoble says “Microsoft rebooted the Web“. Michael Arrington says, “it makes Flash/Flex look like an absolute toy“. Basically there is a LOT of discussion/debate about it in the blogosphere.
But of course this is just the beginning of an interesting battle between Silverlight, Flex, Appollo and Open Lazo. Its going to be interesting to see who comes out as a winner.
But meanwhile the best part about this is that developers like myself can take their .NET skills and make sites that are going to be far richer and interactive compared to just plain and simple HTML + AJAX. I always wanted to learn Flash just for that but now finally I don’t have to! =)
I recently downloaded the Album Viewer application to get the feel for Silverlight.
