Silverlight on Nokia – What It Means for Flash Lite Developers
 
A nice post via bill comparing “Silverlight on Nokia – What It Means for Flash Lite Developers” Bill gives some thoughts and views how a developer can be effected or may be intrested using new technologies and what kind of strategy Adobe is applying to promote Flash lite. a long way to go.
Some of the points:
If you’re a mobile developer or business decision maker considering any technology for mobile development then there are questions that you should have:
- What’s the addressable market supporting the technology
- What’s the designer/developer workflow
- What tools do I need
- Can I leverage my skills or do I need to learn new ones
- How do I distribute my content
- Is the content inside/outside the mobile browser
- What’s the developer community like
- Can I reuse assets from the web
- Can this technology allow me to have a multi-screen experience
Well!! i love Adobe Flash lite and it really gives me more ways to express my creativity which i love it 🙂 not sure how silverlight will be promising to me!!

I suspect, Vivek, that you’re not the target developer. Just like Flex developers aren’t Silverlight targets (mostly).
this is a way to leverage the large army of Microsoft developers: C#, ASP.NET, etc. An attempt to give them an end-to-end solution, just like ActionScript developers get from Flash to Flex to FlashLite.
well, that’s my take anyhoo…

Happy to see your frank comments in my blog.
I am a designer and work in Adobe Flash. But working with silverlight i am not much comfortable into.
It may be because i work more on Adobe flash and Flash lite.
