The Silverlight 4 Beta !!!

It's not been much time since Silverlight 3 and the Silverlight 4 beta is already out!

One of the coolest aspects for me is the printing support. Today's RIA space dearly needs good printing support for its applications. As usual, microsoft has packed enough goodies in the bag, to make a non-programming drag'n'drop coder look like a champion developer! Comprehensive set of form controls and the works...

Another very important point with this version might be the networking support. Again, this might prove to be a game changer. I am thinking cloud, stock markets and social networks right now and I am hoping this could prove to be a cool RIA platform for getting stuff done!

For now this needs Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 (or the web dev express 2010 beta 2).

Check out the announcement: http://silverlight.net/getstarted/silverlight-4-beta/ which I am sure will be a lot more instructive than the two second analysis I have for now.

It's good news that VS2008 and 2010 can live together. I am off to trying the new stuff now!

Cheers
