ASP.NET vs. Microsoft Silverlight

Well suited: for interfaces between machines data and applications. Made as a service. For web applications in factories where you don't have access to thick clients due to the environment. not well suited: quick measurements and fast data transitions between different applications. When time dependency is needed, then you better can choose other solutions.

The Silverlight plug-in means developers can target a single, consistent runtime for browser-based apps, rather than working with the complexity of multiple browsers in different versions. You also get video and multimedia effects that are hard or impossible with pure HTML and JavaScript, though Adobe Systems' Flash has the same advantages.

• It has a great documentation so new or experienced, you appreciate quick access to quality information
• It’s very fast, uses less memory than initially expected that has decreased our costs after moving from python
• It speaks the language of the design patterns really well, so our backend apps are written fast together and connect to frontend systems flawlessly

• Easy to implement
• No need for additional frameworks on client side
• Out of browser capabilities

• Net is just like plug and play, we have to focus on a logic of code rest part can be handled by ASP. Net framework.
• It's a best for only web development.
• One downside with ASP.NET is its reliance on the .NET framework.

• No longer being supported
• No upkeep with ria services
• Be nice to work in a modern browser

Very good, depending on the requirement and budget.

We choose ASP.NET because our core business is working with the SAP HANA database using SAP Business One. We can develop state-of-the-art applications with Razor and Visual Studio 2022 fast and with excellent application performance response. Working SAP Hana with JAVA could be more challenging because it has fewer developers communities, and it could be harder to find a solution for a question.

Microsoft Silverlight allows more adaptability and it integrates well with our products across the company. Adobe Flash crashes or doesn't work with our shipping campus.

• We realized positive returns due to interns and new employees already having experience due to the free academic versions available.
• Being able to evaluate the express version prior to purchase was helpful.
• Performance is adequate, but not as responsive as C++. I guess the trade-off is ease of use and being able to find qualified personnel.

Incentivized

• Increased lecture delivery
• Improved academic experience
• Less A/V tech support and delay
