Just had a quick read of http://computer.howstuffworks.com/silverlight.htm/printable I turns out that Silverlight 1 uses javascript and Silverlight 2 can use other .Net languages such as C#. They both run on the .Net framework, which means you have @ your hands all the power .Net offers desktop applications. On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 10:31 AM, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote:
It's not really an either/or choice between Silverlight and Ajax. You can use them both and build very feature rich websites. Both have their strengths
As for hosting my personal preference would be to put by own box at the host and load it with whatever software you need. If you're doing ASP.NETI highly recommend you host your server on Windows Server 2008 on IIS 7. IIS 7 is brilliant because its improved performance and security, it can host PHP very well and you can extend it by writing your own modules.
