Isn't Silverlight and Flash just an attempt to put the internet genie back in the bottle, by developing "rich internet apps" (RIAs) in a proprietary language with proprietary development tools and encumbered runtimes, rather than open-standards-development? I'll agree that HTML/CSS/JavaScript/XML is anything but an ideal development environment, but isn't Flash/Silverlight just an attempt to rehash VB/VFP's ActiveDocuments?
Bonus question: Compare and contrast Silverlight to Java for extra credit. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
