Expression Web makes creating compliant standards-based Web sites faster and easier.

With a state-of-the-art design surface that generates clean CSS, you can make design decisions on the fly, knowing that you’re seeing a faithful representation of the final browser-rendered page.

Drag and drop controls simplify adding rich media, such as Silverlight from Expression Blend™, Flash, and Windows Media. And advanced Photoshop file import gives you complete control over imported layers.

And if you like to work in the code, Expression Web has you covered there too. With support for a broad range of essential Web technologies, such as PHP, JavaScript, XML/XSLT, and ASP.NET you can use the same tool for both visual design and coding.

If you work on a team with developers, use Expression Web to do what you do best – design – and make it easier for developers to do what they do best. Hand the project over to Visual Studio developers, knowing that you design will stay intact while they extend the site’s functionality.

Microsoft Silverlight is a web application framework that provides functionalities similar to those in Adobe Flash, integrating multimedia, graphics, animations and interactivity into a single runtime environment. Initially released as a video streaming plugin, later versions brought additional interactivity features and support for .NET languages and development tools. The current version, 3.0, was released on July 9, 2009.

However, Flash is a strong competitor! Unlike Silverlight, it can work on Linux, which is a very nice feature. Although Silverlight is able to use WMV but this is useless when it comes to websites like YouTube. The system is unable to work with.avi and.mov files. It is also unable to bind to models or even connect to the network and obtain data. Flash contains list views, buttons, list buttons, checkboxes, and grids. These things are missing in Microsoft’s product, making some jobs more difficult than they should be. Flash supports GIF and BMP formats, aside popular formats such as JPG and PNG which are exclusively supported by Silverlight. In Microsoft’s platform, sound processing is unavailable and so is socket programming.

Although Flash might have all the above features, Silverlight also has a lot of aces up its sleeve. For example, it supports animations, through the WPF animation model. The model is time based not frame based. All you have to do is define the start and end conditions and the system will figure a way to ge there. By using this algorithm, matrixes are completely eliminated. Also, Silverlight works with XAML (text based) and a simple XML object can output it. When it comes to debugging, Microsoft’s product is much more easy to use and also more versatile than Flash. You can also use true type fonts directly in the projects. Silverlight supports JavaScript, C#, and VB.NET programming languages. Flash uses ActionScript, while Silverlight uses XAML. The first is imperative, while the second is declarative. ActionScript is around since the early days of DOS when developers needed to manage the API when interacting with graphics.
