Silverlight 3

Silverlight 3

Where are those updates about my “lame” development works? Well, I finally realized there are some limitation (difficulties) to deploy everything based on AJAX. Then I quickly look for other alternatives. At last, I starting to learn flex. which is also highly recommended by my boss. Flex/AS3 is one of the technology that I would not like to touch on in the past.

Just as I read until 75% of the Flex e-book, Silverlight 3 suddenly pop up.

Just briefly read through those article about Silverlight 3 and gone through the live streaming demo, the improvement is very promising. The video start playing instantly and the quality is much better than Silverlight 2, and it’s HD video. Unlike flash video, if you try to skip the video, you will need to wait the player to buffer. But in Silverlight, you can click on any position of the timeline and it doesn’t has any delay.

Another features in Silverlight 3 is directly pointed at Adobe Air. Silverlight 3 now let you develop application that can be run out side of browser.
