Getting Started with Silverlight

I’ve been taking some time looking at the Silverlight recently and found myself pleasantly surprised by some aspects of Silverlight. I work mostly with Flex3 these days, and as an Adobe certified Flex developer, I almost wanted to settle with Flex and not looking at anything else. But of course, anyone know me would agree I’m not that kind of developer. I believe there’s the best solution for every problem and it doesn’t always mean one tool or language is right for everything.

Looking at Silverlight for few weeks, I feel like I made a right decision of getting to know more about it. I definitely need to learn more about the upcoming Silverlight 4 but overall, I was quite impressed with the workflow and the developer-centric IDE that I always appreciated as a .NET developer.

Now I’m ready for Mix10 conference next week. I’m curious how Microsoft would picture the future of Web and RIA development.
