Silverlight

I have seen Silverlight, but I did not know what it was.

I was searching around for possibility technologies to create rich data graphic application.

Actually, I have some idea of doing a website about the history, but I still figure it our what it would be.

Anyway, I have found that Silverlight is a new technology similar to Flash from Macromedia.

The good thing about is that you can use Visual Studio 2008 to create a Silverlight (version 1.1) application using .Net Languages. That would make life easy.

You can create graphics or animations in Expression Blend. The graphics or animations are stored in the XAML files. Then you can import the graphics or animations into visual studio 2008 for programming.

Now, I can create a very rich (data + graphics) application easier with Silverlight. It was more difficult with flash. It was difficult to create a flash application to connect to databases.

Cool.
