Introduction to Microsoft Silverlight
Silverlight is a Microsoft technology that allows for building rich interactive web applications. It provides capabilities for media playback, animation, and graphics. Developers can use .NET languages like C# to build Silverlight applications, taking advantage of tools like Visual Studio and Expression Blend. Silverlight applications can run across browsers and platforms and provide users with engaging experiences beyond traditional websites.
