13.4. Summary

Rich internet applications are already an important part of the internet revolution, and they’re only becoming more important. Silverlight is one of the new frameworks that allow programmers to really take advantage of client-side processing power in web applications.

One of the tools we used when writing this chapter was the Silverlight IronPython Web IDE.^[27] This allows us to experiment with the Silverlight APIs by executing code in the browser, and it has several examples preloaded, including some topics we didn’t have space for here.
