Silverlight 1.0 is now available in the official version, but this is just to open the browser platform.
It's just the beginning of the battle. scottgu has the following on his blog:
This paragraph.
Silverlight 1.1 will include a cross-platform version of the. NET Framework,
And will enable a rich. NET development experience in the browser.
It will support a WPF Programming Model for UI-including support for an extensible control model,
Layout management, data-binding, control skinning, and a rich set of built-in controls.
It will also include a subset of the full. NET Framework base class library you use today,
Including support for collections, generics, Io, threading, globalization, networking (including sockets, web-services and rest support ),
HTML Dom, XML, local storage, and LINQ.
What does this mean? Silverlight 1.1 will be closer to WPF and support our expected layout management (flowdocument ?? Window Management ??), Databinding,
And more UI controls are provided. This shows the real environment of the RIA era !!
As you can see, the future Web applications will be more friendly and friendly.
What about 1.0 ?? I personally think that if the user can accept the program to access the computer, then 1.1 is the most optimal choice.
If security issues do not occur, then 1.0 or so may be the best choice for floating.
But don't forget that, in reality, the goal of RIA is to use 1.1 technology.
