Silverlight, Microsoft's answer to Flash, Flex, AJAX, and other rich Internet applications (RIA) arrived with a bang. Silverlight 1.0 manipulated its multimedia-savvy, WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) user interface using JavaScript. Silverlight 1.1, which added support for compiled .Net languages and supported more of the .Net API, was available at that time only as an alpha test. Now project requests are popping up for Silverlight development on project boards such as http://www.guru.com/ and http://www.elance.com/
There is even a proper Wikipedia page for Silverlight.
Scio Consulting is launching its Silverlight Partner page and is buys creating silverlight applications for small clients and internal project, such as the Total Cost of Engagement calculator used for determining the cost benefits of near shore application outsourcing vs inhouse, onshore, and offshore.
My guess is that as the cost of development rises in India, and more and more IT executives tire of traveling and conferencing all hours of the day and night, more people will see the benefits of nearshore application development outsourcing.
