精彩的瀏覽器戰爭的序幕已拉開

 

  
Silverlight 1.0 終於推出正式版了,但這只是拉開這場瀏覽器平台
戰爭的序幕而已,真正精彩的還在後頭,ScottGu在他的Blog上有以下
這段話.

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.

這意味著什麼? Silverlight 1.1將會更接近WPF,支援我們期待的layout management(flowdocument?? window management??),databinding,
及提供更多的UI控制項,這宣告了RIA時代的真正來臨!!

可以想見的,未來的網頁應用程式將更加的友善及複雜.

那1.0呢?? 我個人是認為,如果使用者可以接受下載程式到本機電腦執行,那麼1.1是最終的選擇.
如果因安全性顧慮而不為之,那麼1.0或許才會是浮上抬面的最佳選擇.
但是別忘了,實現RIA目標是需要1.1這種技術的.
