When was the last time you saw a company move away from Flex to Silverlight or JavaFX? Or make a decision to start a new project using Silverlight or JavaFX instead of Flex?
In early 2011 a client chose Silverlight for one of their projects. I was not involved in the decision; but I got to see some political wrangling afterwards. One side was saying "This should have been built in HTML5" and the other side saying "This should have been built in Flash/Flex."
I was told that the reason Silverlight was chosen was because it would allow them to easily port to Android and iOS. I asked for details, but was unable to get any specifics. Ss there a way to use Silverlight to build iOS/Android apps? Does Mono allow that?
