Silverlight development on Mac or Linux?

Up to now this is not possible, but there is good news for those who want to start developing Silverlight applications and are currently working on a Mac. I just read an interesting blog post about a project called eclipse4SL, a collaboration between Microsoft and Soyotac. The purpose of this project is the creation of open source tools integrated with the Eclipse development environment. This means that developers using Flexbuilder/Eclipse can start exploring Silverlight in their own environment. You still need to wait until spring 2009 for the cross platform capabilities (see the roadmap on the website), but there is already a CTP version available for Windows.

The other big news today is that Silverlight 2 has been officially released today. You can read the press release from Microsoft here. This means that I have to hurry and upgrade the Benny’s Bus Stop app :)
