Today Microsoft
announced the debut release of
Silverlight,
the new cross-browser, cross-platform technology for developing
compelling media experiences and RIAs. I joined the Silverlight effort
around November of 2006 from working on WPF 3.5 feature areas, and it
has been a wonderful ride. Working on two different product releases –
Silverlight 1.0 and 1.1 - simultaneously is a very unique experience
not easily summarized in a blog post. The kind of stuff this team has
done in a matter of months is nothing short of amazing. We joke
internally about how someday books will be written about these
episodes; and needless to say, about the giants upon whose shoulders
people like me stood. But for now, I’m happy and tremendously fortunate
to have been a part of shipping a great product that millions will use
and love.
I agree with that statement, not much I can add. I'm glad to see Silverlight 1.0 is now final and
Scott Guthrie and his team will now focus on improving Silverlight 1.1. In our german sport community website
meinSport.de we already use Silverlight too and we plan to add even more features with that exciting technology in the near future.
