It'll work well as small isolated plugins (in addition to some back-end web apps, depending on how they're used).<br /><br />Also, with ASP.NET MVC, I really hope our days of page lifecycle and postbacks are already gone.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434038971620573603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430856949934117881.post-89147146030340208772009-05-07T14:27:00.000-05:002009-05-07T14:27:00.000-05:00See... that's why I've been focusing on integratin...See... that's why I've been focusing on integrating it into existing web pages, doing things where JavaScript or Flash might be a little awkward. You can manipulate the DOM and stuff, so it does have some benefits. <br /><br />Personally I think that there could be some cool places for it. Web Applications are good examples-- where you're running something data driven and there may be a lot of interaction between the front and back ends. You don't have to deal with page lifecycle crap to databind things, or the IsPostback stuff. Hut just for general content? Eh... I won't be hanging up my HTML/CSS skills just yet. <br /><br />--Alex 7 ;)Alex Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15242128923621792795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430856949934117881.post-53560664273120769852009-05-07T13:49:00.000-05:002009-05-07T13:49:00.000-05:00For those curious, I actually don't mind Silverlig...For those curious, I actually don't mind Silverlight. It's pretty sweet, and there is a market out there where it's a good choice for a development platform (like back-end applications that need a web delivery method). <br /><br />However, I recently attended a "training" session, that was basically a huge insult to any web developers worth their salt. The presenter was someone who has lived in the winform world, and WPF does rock their world (I hope to never touch winforms again). However, the presenter had no knowledge of web development, and was uninterested in hearing any comments that didn't revolve around praising Silverlight as the savior of the web.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434038971620573603noreply@blogger.com
