Silverlight 3 Features, Part 1
Tim Sneath did a roundup of new features in Silverlight 3 recently but I'll instead point you at Paul Stubbs who is putting together some annotations and walkthroughs showing how the features are actually used. Here's an overview of the general feature set for Silverlight developers.
- Running Silverlight applications outside the browser
- Additional video and audio codecs
- Perspective and projection for surfaces
- GPU drawing acceleration
- Local message passing between running Silverlight applications
- Custom file dialogs
- Additional bitmap and media programming functions
- Visual effects
Next time I'll talk a bit about the feature set of the WCF portion of Silverlight 3.
