- 1. Silverlight Next Web Now! 08Mx22, II MCA
- 2. What is Silverlight? A Browser Plug-in for delivering RIA Earlier known as WPF/E (Windows Presentation Foundation / Everywhere) Cross-browser, cross-platform, cross-device implementation of the .NET Framework. 16 sec download (on a 2Mbps connection) Provides animations, vector graphics, audio-video playback
- 4. Advanced communications with supporting servers
- 5. Consistency
- 6. Offline use
- 9. Seamless, fast installation for end users
- 11. Based on the .NET Framework
- 15. Latest developer innovations (e.g. LINQ)
- 18. Mac OS X and Windows
- 19. Any web serverFast, easy install process + 3D Graphics
- 20. Silverlight Technologies WPF and XAML. Silverlight includes Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology, which greatly extends the elements in the browser for creating UI, extending browser-based UI beyond what is available with HTML alone. Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) provides a declarative markup syntax for creating WPF elements. Extensions to JavaScript. Silverlight provides extensions to the universal browser scripting language that provide powerful control over the browser UI, including the ability to work with WPF elements.
- 21. Silverlight Merits Integration with existing applications. Silverlight integrates seamlessly with existing JavaScript and ASP.NET AJAX code to complement functionality already created. Access to the .NET Framework programming model and to associated tools. Silverlight-based applications may be created using dynamic languages such as IronRuby and IronPython as well as languages such as C# and Visual Basic. Development tools such as Visual Studio can be leveraged to create Silverlight-based applications.
- 22. Other Advantages Single, consistent runtime for browser-based applications. Performance is promising (Graphic card acceleration). There is an official open source implementation of Silverlight (Moonlight). Developed by Novell on behalf of Microsoft. Search engines can potentially index text within a Silverlight application, just as they can with Flash.
- 23. Conclusion The design tools (Expression Blend and Expression Design) are comparatively new. Silverlight is a browser-only solution (Adobe has AIR, a desktop and browser based solution). Development on Windows platform only (while deployment is cross-platform). Yet to penetrate market as Adobe Flash continues to dominate even though it is feature-rich and developer friendly.
