What Is Silverlight?

Silverlight enables you to create a state-of-the-art application that has the following features:
• It is a cross-browser, cross-platform technology. It runs in all popular Web browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari, Google Chrome, and on Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X.
• It is supported by a small download that installs in seconds.
• It streams video and audio. It scales video quality to everything from mobile devices to desktop browsers to 720p HDTV video modes.
• It includes compelling graphics that users can manipulate—drag, turn, and zoom—directly in the browser.
• It reads data and updates the display, but it doesn't interrupt the user by refreshing the whole page.
• The application can run in the Web browser or you can configure it so users can run it on their computer (out-of-browser).

Web developers and graphics designers can create Silverlight applications in a variety of ways. You can use Silverlight markup to create media and graphics, and manipulate them with dynamic languages and managed code. Silverlight also enables you to use professional-quality tools like Visual Studio for coding and Microsoft Expression Blend for layout and graphic design.
