Silverlight is a web based technology, launched by Microsoft in April 2007. Silverlight is considered as a competitor to Adobe Flash.
Silverlight applications are delivered to browsers in a text-based markup language called XAML.
What is XAML ?
XAML stands for eXtensible Application Markup Language. XAML contain XML that is used to declaratively specify the user interface for Silverlight or WPF applications.
For example, if you need to display a rectangle, this is the XAML you need to use:
<Canvas Width="500" Height="500" Background="White">
<Rectangle Canvas.Left="75" Canvas.Top="90" Fill="red" Width="100" Height="100" />
</Canvas>
When the above xaml is executed, it will display a rectangle filled with red color.
You may notice is that XAML is very similar to HTML in nature.
