Silverlight: Alive?

November 2, 2010 · 1 min read

There's a lot of  buzz about Silverlight (SL) and its future.

HTML 5 is good but its not about about to take over SL.

Here's what Scott Guthrie's keynote at Dev Connections:

Bt"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"  Check out one of my favorites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie\_RickenbackerJust like Eddie Rickenbacker! One of my favorite folks!

He also said, "I have More people working on the sl now than any time in sl history."

And this is my favorite:

"Don't believe everything you read on the internet."

This is totally awesome!

Silverlight is much better with its support of .Net and much better than HTML (any version) .

I love SL, it totally rocks with all of its features.
