I was watching some videos today on the new platform Microsoft is developing for .Net, Silverlight. It is very cool and will offer a lot of functionality to web applications. I can’t wait to see what people start developing with this platform with Web 2.0 type applications. If you need some examples then watch this video in which Scott Guthrie shows how to create a media rich Airline booking application. The possibilities with this platform are endless and it should allow for a wide array of media rich applications to be developed for the web. The cool part is you don’t have to run the apps on a Windows Server, they will also work on Apache. Of course to get the rich combination of being able to leverage .Net code behind from web services or other .Net applications it will need to be on Windows, but most of this stuff is client side.
