User experience is the most significant focus for organizations in the present day and age. And, it has been improving exponentially with the emergence of new devices and technologies.

And, with Microsoft announcing the end of support for one of its pioneer front-end technologies – Silverlight, we are witnessing enterprises are looking to migrate their solution to robust and highly sustainable technologies, like Angular and more.
