So, there’s been tons of talk about Silverlight in the Flash community over the last few weeks. Lots of hype, lots of jabs, a few flame wars. I’ve even poked some fun at it’s name. But if you are a Flash or Flex developer, it is a subject you need to consider seriously, and take an unbiased look at, because it IS going to have SOME impact on what you are doing, somewhere down the line, one way or the other. I don’t know what that impact might be, but it’s not going away, Microsoft is going to keep throwing money at it for years to come, developers are going to want to use it, and clients are going to start asking for it.
So, I highly suggest reading the following posts from Grant Skinner and Chafic Kazoun, two Flash developers I highly respect. They give a very realistic, unbiased, unhyped look at what Silverlight is all about and what it might mean for you.
Sliverlight is cool!
