Silverlight中文社区
2007年4月16日,在美国全国广播协会的会议上,微软正式宣布WPF/E的正式官方名称为Silverlight。微软的描述是:Silverlight是一个跨浏览器的、跨平台的插件,为Web带来下一代媒体体验和丰富的交互式应用程序体验。Silverlight提供灵活的编程模型,支持JavaScript、.NET和其他的语言,并集成到现有的web应用程序中。Silverlight对运行在Mac或Windows上的主流浏览器提供高质量视频信息的快速、低成本的传递。
Silverlight基于跨浏览器网络技术,依赖XAML语言和JavaScript脚本创建页面,与Flash一样作为浏览器插件工作,同样能显示矢量图形、动画和视频,可以运行在多种操作系统甚至移动设备上。Silverlight相对于Flash的优势在于视频,未来我们可能将使用Silverlight轻松的在网页上观看高清视频内容。Silverlight使用WMV格式,支持从低分辨率的移动媒体到全屏HD视频,并支持VC-1编码。为此微软还专门同时发布了VC-1编码器SDK。Silverlight基于.NET Framework,更方便程序员进行开发,提供高速媒体编码、硬件加速、支持Windows Server “Longhorn”等特性。Silverlight的发布必将对Flash造成强大的冲击,同样对于广大的开发人员来讲这无疑是一次重要事件,它将引领又一次的学习开发浪潮。
