Microsoft's PopFly, a lot of duck and duck, oh, well, let's get back to the ground. There are many articles about PopFly on the Internet, but I just want to explain why I should choose PopFly?
1. cross-browser and cross-platform Popfly
Popfly makes full use of the cross-platform cross-browser advantages of Silverlight. You can simply create your own files with the support of the browser.
2. Easy to develop and get started
Just like building blocks, you can simply splice blocks and add a small amount of code to create a variety of applications. In addition, developers familiar with Visual Studio can easily share their own blocks with the Community P friends through Popfly Explorer.
3. freely create pages and mashups
You can create a mashup referenced by iframe or a wysiwyg html page. Popfly Alpha provides 25 MB space for users to store pages and mashups.
4. Multi-party association, easy to combine
Popfly can not only work closely with various services of Windows Live, but also work closely with various applications provided by Yahoo and Facebook.
5. One creation and multi-point deployment
You can store the generated mashups in your own blog, or you can save the projects as Windows Sidebar Gadget for sharing with others. In addition, you can also create your own blocks and learn from P friends in the Popfly community.
What does Popfly include?
Popfly is mainly divided into two parts: one is Popfly Space, similar to a social circle, you can add friends, share projects with friends, share Mashup, Block, and the other is Popfly Creator, which is mainly used to create pages, gadget, Mushup, and Block.
