Apart from Adobe, Microsoft and Sun, even Mozilla took notice of the surge in RIAs. It started a project called WebRunner long ago, with a goal “to identify and facilitate the development of enhancements that bring the advantages of desktop apps to the web platform,” and later renamed it as Prism towards the end of [...]
In 2002, Jeremy Allaire wrote a whitepaper that arguably spawned the RIA revolution. In that whitepaper a couple quotes stick out that are related to a lot of the conversations I have with potential clients even today. Here’s one: Rich clients are made much more valuable when combined with logic and data delivered from application servers and [...]
I was just informed that my site has been added to ria.alltop.com, a great directory for RIA focused weblogs. For those of you who haven’t used alltop.com yet, it’s a very cool community focused on providing the best stories in niche or specific topics. It’s great to be listed there amongst some other fantastic sites [...]
The Granite DS team of Frank Wolff and William Drai continue to upgrade their alternative to Adobe® LiveCycle® (Flex™ 2+) Data Services for J2EE application servers. The latest release can be downloaded from sourceforge here. This new release brings several improvements and bug fixes (gas3, hibernate support, gravity, spring security), and one brand new feature [...]
Firefox 3 has been considered an unofficial RIA platform candidate, based on what it can do and can be programmed to do. It’ll be out on June 17th. Here are some of the new features: Updated address bar with integrated bookmarking functionality Standard themes that are consistent with the native UI of your Operating System (Windows, Mac, [...]
Here is a story that can send Mac maniacs and Firefox fanatics in a tizzy. GUIMark’s results show that IE7 renders HTML faster than Firefox 2, Opera 9.27 and Safari 3. Based on the average frame rate, WinXP also beat Macintosh OS X 10.5 “Leopard” in Flex 3, Java 5 Swing, Silverlight 1, and Silverlight 2 [...]
Two weeks ago we launched a website that I am real proud of: Home Depot Think in Colour. It was the first RIA that I programmed (if you don't count my favicon editor) and man did I sweat doing it. First, it was way bigger than I first thought because applications have way more possibilities to [...]
Flex Builder 3 is officially out the door!  Mike Potter, over on the Flex Team blog, has more information than anyone really should about this release, but I suppose it’s his job :)  A big thanks obviously goes out to everyone on the Builder, AIR, Flex SDK and Flash Player teams.  It’s an insane amount of work to [...]
Part of what I love about Java is the never-ending supply of libraries and tools available to the general development community.  For Flex Builder, we leverage Eclipse (obviously), ANTLR, Lucene, JFlex and a number of other libraries with great success.  Software engineers are lazy by nature (at least I am) and I know  I don’t [...]

My subject lines get worse. So I'm going to wait until after MAX Barcelona before I post any summary of the MAX conferences - and I'm taking a week off after Barcelona to recover! But suffice to say, it's incredibly fun times right now, and MAX Chicago was testament to the cutting edge we're all slicing and dicing with right now! But before I head over to Spain, I wanted to draw attention to a blog post that my colleague Simon Smith has made. Simon is one of my partners in crime at Adobe Consulting, leading our User Experience practice...
