Silverlight looks fundamentally different than any other product, except WPF.
Back when my company started using Silverlight, I was surprised to learn that none of my coworkers knew it was almost the same as Adobe Flex. I think this sort of ignorance about the greater world of programming is exactly what the original post is talking about.
- kenjackson 16y agoThey're only similar in that they both use markup and code behind. But that's like saying Silverlight and classic ASP are almost the same. With that said, I should have said, at introduction Silverlight looked fundamentally different. Flex has copied what I think is Silverlight (and WPFs) main differentiator, which is lookless controls (which ties into binding). I think you underestimate the amount of people who have used Flex at some point in time.
