Jesse,

I am a consultant, most often doing winforms and back-end stuff but doing a fair amount of ASP.NET over the years and JavaScript/HTML. I like managed code for lots of reasons and I advise clients (one today as a matter of fact) to hold on new technology outside of ASP.NET/HTML/JS until we are closer to SilverLight 1.1 unless they absolutely have to do something now.

I would love to hear about databinding, controls, etc. on 1.1 so we can start to understand what is possible. That lets me architect a roadmap now.

I agree with Pete, but take our situation in consideration. Silverlight have an overwhelming responce since it was announced, but do you really think it would have generated such responce if Silverlight 1.1 for .NET framework was not announced? How many developers would have responded to *only* JavaScript interface. The only reason I am intrested in Silverlight is because I can code it in .NET. I know JavaScript and I have been using it for that past 6 years but I really dont want to know Silverlight 1.0, I really don't and I just don't not unless I have a project where Silverlight 1.0 is a must. But when 1.1 is released I don't think I would use it.

I actually dislike JavaScript but so far there is nothing that I am unable to do using it with Silverlight 1.0.

I'm reading and writing to the database and using Web services in the examples at my site: dnnsilverlight.adefwebserver.com.

The XAML is the same whether I use Silverlight 1.0 or Silverlight 1.1 so the only difference is my ability to code in C#. Yes I would rather use LINQ and data binding but the end result (what the user will see) can always be achieved with Silverlight 1.0.

I'm fine with those who wish to wait until Silverlight 1.1. I am enjoying the "head start" learning the technology that I believe is the greatest thing since ASP.NET.

The problem is Jesse is that by saying that 1.0 is already capable of doing nearly everything one could want to do you're inviting comparisons with Flex, but Flex without a half decent control model, out-of-the-box controls, data-binding and layout model etc.

Given that, Silverlight comes off extremely poorly. Why would I want to invest the time knowing that 1.1 will improve on, if not include, all of the above, as well as being capable of working with my primary language, C# and have the CLR?.

I understand that concepts learned now will be valuable later, but there is a major gap at the moment with SL between *efficient* vs *experimental* development.

But I know you and the team know this :), which is why news on 1.1 would be very welcome...

Stay the course, Jesse...

1.0 is released, 1.1 is Alpha

Knowledge learned is always good, skillset differences notwithstanding.

I will have to learn more things when 1.1 becomes baked, but nothing I'm learning now in 1.0 is wasted.
