HTML 5 & Silverlight 5

Yesterday I found a blog post that describes a software as "Silverlight in HTML5". The post says:

"The architecture of M&P H5J is, by design, similar to that of Silverlight including an XAML processor coded in Javascript (TypeScript). M&P H5J is "Silverlight in HTML5"."

This solution seems to me very important.

This is a brilliant article. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article. Thank you David Catuhe. You did a wonderful job.

It would had been good if Microsoft came up with some solid plans for Silverlight (even if restricting support to just one platform). I believe what is annoying developers today is the limbo in which MS is putting them into: by saying nothing on the future of SL.

Brilliant article....

The main thing is missing is rendering performance of 400+ objects....

this article is fantastic...i really like silverlight 5. but still there is a problem on it...3D permission is not in good way...a better way is ask by user to add permission with dialog box or what...

and finally downloading 12Mb is very very huge!!!!

but i still like silverlight and i wish these matters will be optimize in next version.

sooner or later we should talk also about these argument

for a real comparison.

productivity in terms of man days

maintainability of the code

robustness

pattern

security

You're comparing apples and oranges when considering performance unless you run the test multiple times (not multiple iterations in the same test). and unless you know what browsers are compiling javascript on the fly. Silverlight will take some time to JIT compile the first time the code is executed, then it should be orders of magnitude faster than interpreted javascript. It's not clear if your test took that into account.

Nice comparision. But I found 2 issues.

1. Since typical LCD display has refresh rate of 60Hz rendering more than 60fps is pointless (and would only unnecessarily increase cpu usage). Thats why by default SL app has 60fps limit. For the comparision you should increase that limit.

2. Samples does not use hardware acceleration, which by default is turned off. In fact, in your samples there is no place for hardware acceleration, but you should at least mention that in article.

Good article. I'm an ex-SL dev who moved over to JS & HTML.

For me the choice boils down to personal preference and whether the technology fits the purpose. Personally, I'd never move back to SL, but I can see that there are use cases in which it could be better than JS/HTML.
