In the fight for supremacy in RIA, HTML5
may eventually be the victor, perhaps even doing away with proprietary
technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flash. However, HTML5 is
still a long way from finalization, even though bits
and pieces are being implemented in today’s
browsers. In the meantime, companies that want to provide a truly rich Web
experience will continue to choose between the market leaders.

Right now, we favor Silverlight. In the two categories most important to
decision makers — developer tools and design integration — Silverlight
trumps Flash/AIR/Flex. The toolset in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 is
demonstrably excellent, and Microsoft Expression Blend bridges the
design-development gap much better than Adobe Flash Catalyst. For these reasons,
companies like Netflix have chosen Silverlight as their RIA technology. We
completely agree.

My name is Stefano, I live in Switzerland, and I am a husband and a father.
I am passionate about technology and how it can change our lives (and businesses). I am fond of outdoor activities, I care about health and well-being, and I am a could-be-better hobby photographer who appreciates post-processing. While there are more interests in my life than these, let's start from here and find out where we will be ending.
