Silverlight is a deprecated application framework developed by Microsoft for building rich internet applications, similar to Adobe Flash. It enables the creation of interactive user experiences for web and mobile applications using XAML and .NET languages.

About Silverlight
Silverlight was developed by Microsoft and introduced in 2007. It was created to enable developers to build rich internet applications with enhanced multimedia, graphics, and interactivity using XAML and .NET languages. Over time, it struggled to compete with emerging technologies like HTML5 and was officially discontinued in 2021.
Silverlight's strengths included seamless integration with .NET technologies, rich multimedia capabilities, and cross-browser compatibility. Its weaknesses were limited mobile support, dependency on browser plugins, and declining industry adoption. Competitors included Adobe Flash, HTML5, and JavaFX.

With over two years of experience as a developer, a keen interest in programming was kindled during high school under the notion that Programmers will be the magicians of the future. This passion led to a dedicated educational pursuit in the field and a strategic relocation to embark on a career from scratch. The professional journey began as a telemarketing attendant, but persistence facilitated an evolution into a developer role. Early career experiences included working in quality assurance, utilizing Python for testing APIs and front-ends of e-commerce projects.
