Microsoft Silverlight Review by
4.5/5

Thanks to the continuous evolution of the Internet and of web technologies, users can enjoy new and immersive experiences. One of the rather recent innovations that were especially designed for these purposes is Microsoft Silverlight.

This particular technology, apart from being cross-platform, is applicable to both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Silverlight brings more fluid interfaces and provides many features for developers, as it strives to help them in creating unique media experiences.

The plugin greatly improves video quality and the playback performance is also turned up a notch. Animations are smoother than those presented in similar technologies and interaction plays a more important role in both developing and watching Silverlight content.

Among the most visible transformations can be noted “Deep Zoom.” This feature is used with high-resolution imagery and it provides notably smooth and fast zoom to minimize loading times and stress on system apps and resources.

Another innovation present in Silverlight is called “Perspective 3D Graphics,” which was developed to allow developers to add content to three-dimensional planes. The users who view that content can, in turn, scale or rotate it as they wish.

For developers, this technology comes with many visual improvements that can be used in their applications. Among those, “Pixel Shader” and “Skinning and Styling” bring effects for animations and graphical content, as well as the ability to use those graphics to create personalized controls.

Microsoft Silverlight is definitely a step forward, as it provides innovations for both content creators and beholders. The content built using this tool is interactive and engaging as well and, as the support for Silverlight expands, it's a good idea to have it installed on your system.
