Thanks for visiting my blog!
There will be a new home for Silverlight launch on April 30th (for MIX). That site will be at http://silverlight.net. I assume it will be a new site ala asp.net, windowsforms.net, etc.
Note the .net part of the web address…I was confused last night when they launched the new name and noticed that http://silverlight.com was a .mac hosted web page. I wonder if they couldn’t get the rights to the domain or they have something tricky up there sleeve.
Speaking tricky, I have talked with the team for months about lots of topics, including the training class I did for them some months back on Silverlight (WPF/E). I asked several times why the host object was called “aghost”. They seemed to always avoid the question…now I know why. Mike Harsh explains that they had they name for months now and the “ag” in aghost was in reference to the chemical name for silver (AG). Tricky…
