Flex vs Silverlight: Debate at Cal Poly Pomona

Posted in AIR, Flex, Miscellaneous on February 16th, 2009 by Kalen Gibbons

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the debate between Adobe’s Kevin Hoyt and Microsoft’s Sam Stokes, which was presented last week at Cal Poly Pomona. Although my perspective is admittedly a bit skewed, seeing as I love Flex and hate Microsoft, I think the victor is fairly obvious.

The Microsoft presentation was very weak, relying heavily on the strength of one image manipulation library and a couple “non-Silverlight” services. Even I expected more from Microsoft. Give the video a watch and see if you agree.
