Microsoft Silverlight is a RIA development tool and rendering engine very similar to Adobe Flash. Like Flash, Silverlight applications present a rich user interface on the client side, while making server side RPC calls to retrieve data, which is typically delivered as XML or JSON. The Axeda Platform makes it really easy to 1) build server-side RPC that returns whatever platform data you need, in whatever form makes the most sense (XML. JSON, CSV, whatever!), and 2) upload your application to your platform account and get your own URL to server it to your users!
