No author can complete a book without a small army of helpful individuals. I'm deeply indebted to the whole Apress team, including Adam Heath and Ewan Buckingham, who shepherded the book through its various stages; Fabio Ferracchiati and Damien Foggon, who hunted down stray errors in this and previous editions of the book; and Kim Wimpsett, who copy edited the text. Finally, I'd never write any book without the support of my wife and these special individuals: Nora, Razia, Paul, and Hamid. Thanks everyone!
Silverlight is a framework for building rich, browser-hosted applications that run on a variety of operating systems. Silverlight works its magic through a browser plug-in. When you surf to a web page that includes Silverlight content, this browser plug-in runs, executes the code, and renders that content in a specifically designated region of the page. The important part is that the Silverlight plug-in provides a richer environment than the traditional blend of HTML and JavaScript that powers ordinary web pages. Used carefully and artfully, you can create Silverlight pages that play video, have hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, and use vector animations.
Silverlight uses a familiar technique to go beyond the capabilities of standard web pages: a lightweight browser plug-in.
The advantage of the plug-in model is that the user needs to install just a single component to see content created by a range of different people and companies. Installing the plug-in requires a small download and forces the user to confirm the operation in at least one security dialog box. It takes a short but definite amount of time, and it's an obvious inconvenience. However, once the plug-in is installed, the browser can process any content that uses the plug-in seamlessly, with no further prompting.
shows two views of a page with Silverlight content. At the top is the page you'll see if you don't have the Silverlight plug-in installed. At this point, you can click the Get Microsoft Silverlight picture to be taken to Microsoft's website, where you'll be prompted to install the plug-in and then sent back to the original page. On the bottom is the page you'll see once the Silverlight plug-in is installed.
Figure 1. Installing the Silverlight plug-in
Note At the time of this writing, Silverlight 4 is installed on an estimated 75% of Internet-connected computers (including desktop and mobile devices). The share is higher if you consider only Windows operating systems or Interent Explorer browsers. Although this is impressive, it pales in comparison to Flash, which has version 10 or better installed on a staggering 96% of all web devices. (To get up-to-date statistics, refer to www.riastats.com.)
With any Web-centric technology, it's keenly important to have compatibility with the widest possible range of computers and devices. And although Silverlight isn't completely cross-platform, its compatibility stacks up well on the majority of desktop computers.
Currently, Silverlight supports:
Windows computers: Silverlight works on PCs with Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. The minimum browser versions that Silverlight supports are Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 1.5, and Google Chrome 4.0. Silverlight will also work in Windows 2000, but only with Internet Explorer 6. Other browsers, such as Opera and Safari (for Windows), aren't currently supported.
