Lucky Silverlight has so many great tools to crank out XAML for you :) At the end of the day is there really any more work in style creation than with something like CSS?
At the end of the day you aren't being forced to trawl though pages of XAML if you don't so desire :) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Muhammad Niaz Sent: Friday, 17 October 2008 12:13 AM To: listserver@ozSilverlight.com Subject: RE: [OzSilverlight] Success or Failure of SL.? Hi Stephen, I agree with your comments related to .NET expertise. But even though I do't know about Flex but I want to say that lot of XAML markup is generated when we are building out styles in App.xaml, and even Designing is also tough for developer point of view :( Thanks & Regards, Muhammad Niaz Software Engineer Intagleo Systems Pvt Ltd. +92 321 569 4195 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Price Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 10:01 AM To: listserver@ozSilverlight.com Subject: Re: [OzSilverlight] Success or Failure of SL.? Hi Muhammad, I can't really comment on Flex but the little I've seen showed me that both technologies were/are moving in similar directions, which you'd expect as they have a similar problem to solve. I can say though, that learning XAML is not a waste given that WPF also uses it. Anything you can do in XAML can be done in code but usually there's fewer lines of XAML to do the same thing. I love working with Silverlight and if it's easy to use and nice to code then people are more likely to use it, meaning over time it will increase market share. I think the biggest thing going for Silverlight is you can use your .Net skills. There's 4 million+ .Net developers out there apparently so that's a lot of people who already know enough to pick it up run with it. cheers, Stephen On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 1:42 PM, Muhammad Niaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Hi All, So SL released finally, I LOVE it but I have to lot code in XAML for Designing stylying etc. I want to say if we compare to other RIA Technologies like Flex etc. There features and related to developer point of view, are they easy to learn, develop, mean in minimum time we can do lot of work. For example?. And what are the core feature of SL which unique it and add value in it.?
