What are differences and usage scenarious for Silverlight, ASP.NET AJAX, XBAP technologies?
It is clear that these are separated products. that have different internal architecture. Silverlight and XBAP provide similar developer expirience. It seems to me that XBAP is not so usefull approach nowadays and Silverlight will replace XBAP. Why should I use XBAP for intraner/corporate applications why not standalone WPF app deployed thru ClickOnce? For RIA Silverlight is defenitelly the winner for XBAP.
Some links I found usefull:
- When should I use WPF vs. Silverlight?
- XBAP and Silverlight
As for AJAX it looks to me as a complimentary technology for Silverlight. Ajax allow to use back-end services esely to build resposible client UI, while Silverlight is consentrated on client-side code. So this is more AJAX vs RIA comparison, where Silverlight is one of RIA technologies. But still you can do everything with Silverlight, so probably for the future Silverlight is a strategic technology choice for RIA.
- Ajax vs. Silverlight and .NET
- Silverlight and Apollo: AJAX Killers?
- AJAX vs RIA's and Flash vs. Silverlight
It interesting to know that alternatives for Silverlight are JavaFX and Flash/Flex.
