Esri posted an interesting article on their developer's blog site the other day. Basically, they are dropping new development efforts for the Silverlight API and Flex API. With the rise in mobile devices, which don't support either Silverlight or Flex, Esri has decided to focus all new development efforts on the JavaScript API and HTML5. They are planning to support both (including bug fixes) in the coming year but they will not be adding any new functionality. Here is the link to article: http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2014/02/21/esris-roadmap-for-web-developers/
How does this affect KGIS? Most of our public facing web sites are already built on the JavaScript API. This includes KGIS Maps, KGIS Mobile Maps (beta), MPC Cases, City Control Points, and The Development Corporation's website. We currently have 5 applications built on the Silverlight API. The only public facing mapping site on this API is City Control Points which also has an HTML5 mobile site.
Since Silverlight support isn't going away for awhile, we will continue to use these sites. However, any new development will be based on HTML5 and the JavaScript API. All of the sites affected by the move are internal sites so the impact on the public will be minimal.
We will map out our strategy for moving the applications to the new platform over the next several weeks. If you have any questions or concerns please give us a call.
