BE READY:Silverlight is the Platform Development for Windows Phone 7 Series!

Para developer Windows Mobile siap-siap beralih ke Silverlight yaa.. hihi. Meskipun baru bulan depan diumumkan di salah satu MIX2010’s session (i swear someday I will attend MIX events!), tapi sejak dikenalkan di Mobile World Congress kemaren, rumornya sudah lumayan kenceng bahwa platform yang bakal digunakan untuk develop apps di Windows Phone 7 Series adalah Silverlight.

ISN’T THAT WONDERFUL :D :D

Ok. Masih rumor. Tapi rumor yang menyenangkan dan feasible menjadi kenyataan.

Hal ini artinya apa? Apakah Windows Mobile Marketplace nantinya bisa mengalahkan iTunes AppStore? Menurut saya, bisa saja :) Jika benar nantinya Windows Phone akan menggunakan Silverlight, bakalan jadi sangat menguntungkan komunitas .NET developer. Kenapa? Ini nilai jual tambahannya:

  1. Silverlight  = Spending most of your time in Visual Studio + Expression Suite. Kita .NET developer pastinya udah familiar dong dengan IDE & toolsnya? :p
  2. Silverlight = subset WPF. Jadi, bagi yang biasanya megang client desktop development baik dengan WinForm maupun WPF saya rasa nggak akan canggung-canggung banget kalo ingin mulai terjun mempelajari Silverlight.
  3. Bikin sirik Adobe karena both Apple iPhone (bahkan rumor iPhone 4G pun) & WP7 belum akan support Flash. Hmm.. Mungkin Adobe harus membuat tandingan ponsel sendiri kali yah? :D
  4. Ada lagi? Boleh ditambahin... hehehe.

Tell you what, I am one of those people who believes that Silverlight will become a SUPER Development Platform. Simply because it:

  • Runs smooth in Browser (from Web),
  • has a well-enhanced Out-of-Browser experience (from Desktop),
  • can run in Windows Phone (from Mobile)!

This will become handy since we can develop apps that running on several environment, based on the same platform! Mungkin ini yang dulu dimaksud Steve Ballmer saat dia diwawancara September 2009 lalu mengenai "Three Screens and A Cloud". Bayangkan kolaborasi dan efisiensinya.. Bahkan ngga menutup kemungkinan bakal dijadikan kategori Imagine Cup tahun 2011 misalnya? hehe..

And with that being said, I am so gonna buy this phone. Mengutip kalimat dari bacaan sumber yang langsung membuat saya tersenyum,

“...Silverlight could end up going down in history as the technology that helped save Microsoft's mobile business.”

Ini Windows Phone 7 basisnya apa ya?

Kalau WM 6.x kan base nya adalah Windows CE 5.0

Seandainya basenya adalah Windows CE 6.0 R3, maka silverlight bukan rumor lagi :)
