I ran across an article on cio.com that talks about the use of Silverlight in the upcoming Olympics. Article. I’ll also provide the link to the Silverlight portal to help bring people up to speed.
My first view into the elegance of Silverlight came about a year ago, when a colleague popped in my office and said “check this out.” Cool, I thought, Microsoft has an alternative to Flash. He then showed me the code required to put it together… I was floored. It is insanely efficient! I can only imagine the complex implementation required to put video together for a global event, but this is something I plan on watching from multiple angles.
Perhaps this will spare viewers the endless heaps of crap used as needless filler. I want to watch the event; if commentary is annoying, the “NBC Cares” segments are the equivalent to fingernails on a blackboard.
For the law marketing readers: care to take a guess which department would jump all over this tech?
