Microsoft linking Silverlight, Ruby on Rails
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft plans to demonstrate integration Friday between its new Silveright browser plug-in technology for rich Internet applications and the Ruby on Rails Web framework.
The integration will be done via a plug-in, according to a Microsoft representative. Microsoft officials will detail Ruby on Rails efforts at the RailsConf 2008 conference in Portland, Ore., which is happening now through the weekend. The plug-in will be free to conference attendees.
Silverlight is Microsoft's entry into the rich Internet application space, where the company will battle Adobe's Flash technology.
