InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Silverlight, Microsoft's cross-browser plug-in technology for rich multimedia experiences, is making the rounds as an alternative to Adobe Systems's rival Flash platform. Early observers and users of Silverlight at the MIX08 conference in Las Vegas last week emphasized, among other things, its accommodations for .Net software development skills.
"The thing that makes Silverlight interesting, especially [for] .Net developers is that you can use C#," said Carl Kenne, a developer at .Net consultants Dotway in Sweden.
