 The Ajax phenomenon continues its rapid rate of adoption among Web developers as a lightweight alternative to heavyweight "Smart Client" technology. However, Ajax has limitations in such areas as offline mode and local device integration. Also, concerns have been raised regarding security and performance. This session examines the full spectrum of rich Internet applications (RIA) technology, both Ajax as well as more complete alternatives. The session also presents the key success factors in building effective RIAs, which are not so much about technology as about usability principles and a user-centered design process. |
Key Issues:
|
- What is Ajax, and how does it fit into the context of RIAs and smart clients?
- Which vendors provide tools for building RIAs, and how will this market evolve?
- How can organizations get maximum value from RIAs and smart clients?
