Check out this site that we build in Silverlight...
http://www.etonline.com/emmys/
This site was built in one week... lots of blood sweat and tears and thousands of lines of JavaScript...
The fact that we build this in one week really show cases the ability of designers and developers to work together. If we had to do this in flash I would have jumped off the top of the building. don't get me wrong, there are lots of cool things about Silverlight and the media stuff is cool but the ability to bring the designer and developer together and deliver such complicated web content is what Silverlight is all about.
One specific coolness is the control architecture we were able todo with Silverlight and JavaScript. Granted anything with a real CLR and C# is a different ball game but we really were able to come up with solid Silverlight 1.0 control architecture that abstracts the control code well and the XAML and further all of that from the actual application and its XAML in an elegant way that everyone can work on their own bits without stepping on anyone else. without this kind of design and architecture allowed by silverlight this would not have been possible.
The team at Identitymine really came together not only with each other but with REZN8, Entertainment Tonight/CBS and Microsoft to wip out an just unbelieve web experience.
A special thanks to the team: Andrew Whiddett, Mark Brown, Paul Alexander, Jordan Hughes, Devin Brown, Victor Gaudioso, Jobi Joy, Sajiv Thomas, Joy George, Franklin Jose, Haridas Nair, Nathan Dunlap, Jared Potter (the man), Dale Jones, Sam Lakshmipathy, Liby Simanthy, Praveen Prabhakar, Ileana Garcia-Montes, John O'Keefe, Paul Sidlo and to any one else I forgot thank you.
So especially the guys I kept finding in their office or laying on the couch with 2 hours of sleep and jumping up at slightest call and probably even more so the Spouses that had to put up with us...
and we got it on the silverlight.net site:
