Silverlight: Where to start?
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the
next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web. Silverlight offers a flexible and consistent programming model that supports AJAX, Python, Ruby, and .NET languages such as VB and C#, and integrates with existing Web applications. Silverlight media capabilities include fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality audio and video to all major browsers including Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer running on the Mac or on Windows. By using Expression Studio and Visual Studio, designers and developers can collaborate more effectively using the skills they have today to create Silverlight web experience.
