Note on Rich Internet Applications
Posted by Kiran Mova on May 2, 2007
Found this link on RIA at Wikipedia very informative. It goes on to talk about the challenges from an designer or developer perspective and also provides a listing of different methods /techniques to build RIA.
Silverlight has made it to the list there and I hope it is as enriching as developing with web standards like css/html/javascript. Instead of new plugins, I wish companies made sure the browsers conform to standards. Having to just master the standards would help developers to develop RIA effectively instead of worrying about hacking to make them work across browsers.
Back to RIA, there are several open issues but since the user community is adapting to it.. it is time to shift focus to learning the skills to build them.
