    I think the future will be bright for silverlight given time. There are so many professional bloggers paid by competitors out there trashing silverlight without even knowing what it can really do. I too just started learning silverlight a few months ago and I love it. What takes me 5 minutes to do with silverlight would take me a day or more to do in asp or java. Just to place a grid on asp with some sort of style to it means you have to piss around with java script, css and c#. I can build a site in silverlight in a 10th of the time using silverlight and once you've installed the plugin which is only a few seconds you are ready to go.

     

    The HTML5 vs Silverlight trash going around is ridiculous and is meant to discourage ppl. What does HTML have to do with plugins it just determines how a web page is rendered and it isn't a programming language like the bloggers try to make it out to be. Read a book on both and you'll see that for rapid development silverlight is the choice for all the tools it provides and ease of development.
