Silverlight Project Status- CANCELLED
I would like to take a moment to thank Microsoft for this year's PDC. Thanks to you bringing to light the fact that Silverlight is not far reaching, and according to the message sent won't be, my weekends are now free for the winter.
An application I planned on helping build for the travel industry is now on hold pending further research into a different front end technology. The deal was pretty much sealed after Bobs response, but a final decision was made last night to postpone.
PDC did a great job of pointing out the fact that a lot of users would never get to use the application right away. We planned 2 interfaces for the application. Silverlight was to be done first, and then a second using the same services if the app took off.
Doing Silverlight first was not a problem. Now it is a big problem. ASP.NET will probably be used (just a guess), but building an ASP.NET app just is not worth wasting weekends on, especially summer weekends. That will probably be when things kick off now. That is if the application is still viable.
I guess I am finally going to get to clean out the attic this winter.
