Silverlight Does Love Visual Studio Express 2008 After All...

By Don Burnett

Dan Fernandez was extremely nice enough to respond to my blog posting.. Silverlight Tools Alpha's Requirements state Visual Studio Standard as it's lowest requirement.. So it was nice to hear from Dan who had this to say..

"My team owns Visual Studio Express and we are definitely adding Silverlight support by summer of next year for Silverlight 2.0 (1.1 was just renamed to 2.0).
See the 5th comment on my blog post on this: http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2007/11/19/top-15-things-to-love-about-visual-studio-2008-express.aspx


Cheers,
Dan Fernandez
Lead Product Manager
Non-Professional Tools"

 

Thanks Dan for the clarification, it's nice to hear the cost of getting into Silverlight development will be minimal for first time developers and students..
