Silverlight is new enough that you need to know where to look to see worthwhile examples In my Silverlight 2 review, I neglected to discuss where to find good Silverlight applications. While you can find thousands of Flash applications (good and bad) all over the Web, Silverlight is still new enough that you need to know where to look to see worthwhile examples. This says a lot about product maturity, but nothing about product capabilities.The obvious first place to look is the official Silverlight home page . Near the top left of the page, there is a small gallery.Hover over a site at the bottom of this area, and press the “See It” button without accidentally hovering over a different site. The “See More…” link in this area and the Showcase option at the top of the page both go to http://silverlight.net/Showcase, which currently links to 266 applications.Not every good Silverlight application is listed in the showcase. For example, Jeff Prosise and his son recently developed an Enigma simulator. You can download the code from here. If you simply want to run the simulator, click here. I found this quite impressive. Charles Petzold has written an enhancement to Jeff’s simulation to do a more realistic simulation of the patch cables. The source code is here: CableExperiment-Silverlight.zip , and the Silverlight version is here: CableExperiment.html . Charles also did a WPF version; the difference between the two versions illustrates some of the useful functionality in WPF that is missing in Silverlight.Enjoy! Software Development
