Is Silverlight the 'same' as jQuery?

Could Silverlight be used for the same things as jQuery, or are they intended for different things?

For example, vb.net could be used for the same stuff as C# while C# is intended for different things than what JavaScript is. Is Silverlight and jQuery like vb.net and C#, or more like C# and JavaScript?

Solution

  • Silverlight can be used to create rich interactive media, and is more akin to Flash than anything else. jQuery is a javascript library.
