Two significant industry dynamics have taken shape since [Silverlight was introduced] that cause us to emphasize the role of Silverlight differently as a key tool in the developer toolbox.
MIX 11 kicks off next Tuesday, April 12 and the Silverlight Team posted this announcement on Standards-based web, plug-ins, and Silverlight.
Here are some interesting snippets:
- [Microsoft] has shown an unprecedented commitment to being leaders in HTML5 browsers
- [Microsoft] has probably not emphasized enough the tooling for HTML5. We’re going to emphasize that much more going forward [...]
- Over the coming months we’ll be particularly demonstrative of our emphasis on HTML5
I blogged recently:
- Analyze Microsoft MIX11 Session Data With PowerShell of note, there are as many HTML5 sessions as there are Silverlight at MIX11
- Is Microsoft hedging their bet? Where Microsoft sponsors an HTML5 contest. Stating HTML5 and related technologies can provide what you expect from native applications
- HTML is the only true cross platform solution for everything Bob Muglia responded about Silverlight questions. Back then he was the leader of the Microsoft Server and Tools Business.
