Hello, we have a programmer that's going to be creating a expensive program for us, his choices are either in Ajax, Flash, or Silverlight but he insists that Silverlight is the best and that the quality of the product will be far superior than any other, do you think it's worth going Silverlight over flash or ajax? thank you, Ali
What kind of program? I personally would prefer Flash to Silverlight, because its more popular and older technology. And maybe silverlight won't gain much popularity and it will fade away, then you'll be in trouble. Silverlight doesen't support Opera browser also.
Lol Silverlight!!! No!!! Everybody have a Flash Player installed, then forget Silverlight, it will not work. Choose between Flash or Ajax.
I also recommend Flash since it is very popular Forget Silverlight (also M$ if possible lolz), it is dead
Silverlight is a good thing, no doubt. But not all browsers have silverlight plugin installed. Hence, your application users or visitors have to download the sliverlight plugins and then view your page completely. Hence, it is not recommended to use silverlight. Oppositely, as the flash is an older technology. Everyone has flash player installed in the browsers. Hence, it is the best to use flash over silverlight.
Silverlight is new technology and very strong control by programmer. I will prefer to go on silverlight; A lot things you can develop in Silverlight but cannot develop in Ajax or flash. In Ajax or flash , its more complicated to develop complex applications. Thanks for sharing info.
