Silverlight blog for design agencies

  • Article

My mate Rob has started a blog on all things Silverlight. Not the dev or even the designer stuff but looking at Silverlight from a client/agency/media buyer/media owner perspective.

A little blurb from Rob:

"I was telling the marketing comms team here (or the beautiful people as we are known) about the Silverlight the other day and realised (when i could see the blank faces) that i was being dull - i'd started talking all techie, something i realised quickly when that glazed look of 'i wonder what i'll have for tea' met me from around the room - other than my boss who admittedly is a part time geek.
So i'm responsible for the communications to Web Developers and Designers at Microsoft. They love a bit of detail. A bit of actionscript here, a bit of tagging there, recoding SWF files - they love it.... Comms managers.... welll, we tend to need to know top level stuff, enough not to have the wool pulled over our eyes and see a bull merchant coming.. we need to know why we should be using a something and its benefits to us, rather than it handles time lines over frames blah blah blah...
So i thought i'd lay out the story of Silverlight, what it does, what its good for etc - in a way that makes sense to me - and hopefully to you, the challenges i've come across with my projects etc as, so at least you can see stuff coming."
