Silverlight Simplicity
I just finished a POC covering Silverlight in a bit of depth, so I've been spending this week considering the learning from that. I typically try to absorb technology by doing (part) of the project again without reference to the original to see if I've learned it.
The main thing I've taken from Silverlight is that it's a lot of fun. Normally I'd complain about the lack of controls, and events and all that, but you know there's something really refreshing about having nothing more than a Canvas and a Click (sorta) to have to produce something compelling.
I'm a big fan of the Javascript -> Silverlight communication (and vice versa) and I'm looking forward to seeing someone put that to work in an effective AJAX-y experience.
