Silverlight 5 has received much attention from designers and developers. In fact, the award-winning designers and developers at Speed Limit Studios (WebDesigningCompany.net) have called the Microsoft technology one of the most exciting things to happen to online content in some time. The excitement and considerable media attention surrounding Silverlight 5 has focused largely on the video applications possible with Silverlight. Silverlight 5 will allow developers and designers to create streaming audio and video content for the Internet that includes not only amazing HD quality, but which also comes with interactive and DVD-like features which give viewers even more control over online streaming experiences. According to Speed Limit Studios (WebDesigningCompany.net) designers, however, Silverlight is far more flexible than that. Silverlight 5 also offers improvements in printing and text, for example. The technology will support multi-column text flow and OpenType fonts. The technology will allow designers to manipulate text as though working with a desktop publishing application. Silverlight 5 also offers an API for rich vector printing. This allows users of Silverlight applications to print more easily, as anything that appears online with a Silverlight application can print in a true-to-screen manner.To find out more about Silverlight, check out webdesigningcompany.net.
