[推荐阅读]开发者眼中的Silverlight和Flash

文章从一名资深flash开发者的角度，全方位深入的对比评论了Silverlight和Flash两种技术，点评非常全面、深入，推荐大家一看。

Silverlight vs. Flash: The Developer Story

非常片面，主观武断，还是下面的回复好看。
最简单的一点，SL在LINUX下面不能用，比FLASH好？？

最新update,mono会在今年年底完成linux下的SL.

A page to track the various projects that will make up the Mono-based implementation of Silverlight.
Silverlight 1.1 (http://silverlight.net) is a new development technology for the Web created by Microsoft based on the CLR that augments it with a 2D retained graphics system and media playback engine and ships a subset of the standard .NET libraries.
Building an open source implementation on top of Mono is an obvious choice as Mono has most of the technologies required to implement it but is missing a few components. In this page we will track the work required and the design decisions involved in creating an open source version of it.
Moonlight is the temporary name for the project.

英文水平不行啊，看不来

对于很多开发者而言,
silverlight更接近他们,
silverlight支持javascript,c#,vb,vbx,ruby等语言.

而且mini clr性能非常好,支持linq;
A built-in CLR engine that delivers a super high performance execution environment for the browser.  Silverlight uses the same core CLR engine that we ship with the full .NET Framework today (we build it from a single source tree).  It delivers the same type-system, garbage collector, and JIT code generation engine that your .NET code uses today.  This means that you can write .NET code that can now run in Silverlight, ASP.NET, and a WinForms/WPF Windows application.  It also means you can now execute code within the browser that runs more than 250x faster than interpreted Javascript.

这个在技术上应该是不成问题的，关键是MS怎么想，其实sl的目标平台不仅仅包括PS，更重要的应该还包括移动终端平台。

而且我觉得文章还是比较客观的，作者也是资深的flash开发员，在flash平台上也是有很多切肤之痛，这才对sl这一新生平台的优点深有感触啊。

这篇文章我同意前半部分,Flash从前的SDK的确问题多多，而且Macromedia对开发者的态度也并不友好。

但是最后的工具部分就有点奇怪了，很难理解作者为什么大力推荐用VS来编辑WPF而只字不提Expression系列，而对于Flash则强调非Flash guru不能胜任，其实Adobe把Flex根Flash分开不就为了方便开发人员来用么。

VS是一专多能吧,因为VS本身也是有带个WPF图形编辑器,简单应用足够的.

这场战斗Adobe已经输掉了....Flex 2.0只是挣扎了...

是啊，flash前景堪忧，就看Adobe如何应对了，RIA是个非常大的市场，个人觉得flash在技术上优势不大，相反sl的一些特性对flash是致命的打击，比如搜索引擎友好。flash最大的优势是培养了大量的开发者，MS想要拉拢这些真正的市场推动者还要花不小的力气。

大家已经习惯了flash，要推行一种新技术，谈何容易。。。
