Silverlight 1.1 Alpha tools for VS 2008 Beta 2

imageYou can download the Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 tools for the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha (the one with .CLR) from Microsoft Download Center. [via Assemblix.net -newsletter]

There is also free August Preview of Microsoft Expression Blend 2 available.

My take on Silverlight is that it is a really interesting technology. I have never been a big fan of Flash that Silverlight mostly resembles, but lately there have been some web pages that have used Flash for useful purposes.

Also, some Silverlight demos have been very impressive, especially those related to videos that start playing instantly.

As I’m not so much designer-guy, my goal is to learn only the possibilities and limitations of the Silverlight and leave the art-related stuff to experts of that area. I like that with Silverlight you can combine the knowledge and advantages of WPF and .NET-languages.
