Imagine a technology that combines the rich graphical user interface of desktop applications with the ubiquity of a web browser. This is Microsoft Silverlight, a new cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web. Delivered to end users through a fast installation, Silverlight offers consistent experiences to both Macintosh and Windows users on a variety of browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. Based on the Microsoft .NET Framework, Silverlight allows us to develop rich interactive web applications that incorporate video, sound, animation, and stunning user interfaces. RIAs are the future of web business application development, offering dramatically better user interfaces than today’s applications.
VeIndia is the foremost company in India that joined the Microsoft Silverlight Development Initiative and occupied a unique position on the cutting edge of this new technology. Silverlight RIA development is a natural fit for us as we have an extensive experience in building web2.0 applications and server based solutions. Microsoft Silverlight allows us to utilize our .NET Framework skills while creating rich, interactive content and engaging graphics.
