Folks, we have a working Silverlight 4 app out there at the moment with some desktop support apps all written in .NET 4. Now and then when we demo the SL4 app someone will ask variations on these questions:
"...what's your migration path away from Silverlight when it dies?" "...will the app be available for iPad or iPhone" I know the first question is floating around like a bad smell everywhere and the answer depends who you ask. I believe that we're talking years anyway before such a thing would happen, and our app would be probably be obsolete or rewritten by then anyway. So I'm not particularly worried about that for now (unless I should be?!) The second question is a doozy and out of my areas of experience. Can someone confirm that .NET and the runtime is not available for iPad or iPhone? What kits and languages do you use to write iPad and iPhone apps? Is Object C still for that sort of thing? Or Java? Or HTML5? If anyone knows anything technical about writing apps for Windows and Mac and the issues involved I'd love to hear your comments. Cheers, Greg
