Rich Internet Applications - The Next Generation Of Web Application

By:




Rich Internet Applications are the next generation of Web applications. Rich Internet Application provides the usability, receptiveness, and reuse of client/server applications with the operation, manageability, and accessibility of traditional Web applications. Examples of RIA frameworks comprise of Ajax, Curl, GWT, Adobe Flash/Adobe Flex/AIR, Java/JavaFX, Mozilla's XUL, OpenLaszlo and Microsoft Silverlight.

Rich Internet applications offer a rich, appealing experience that develops user satisfaction and boost productivity. Using the Internet, the developers can organize RIAs across browsers and desktops. Rich Internet Applications differ from other Internet applications in the amount of communication interface. A customary page based on Internet application limits interaction to a small set of usual controls such as checkboxes, form fields, radio buttons and buttons. This strictly limits the skill to build usable applications and most Internet applications have proven awkward and more difficult to use than their desktop counterparts.

RIAs can change the way businesses operate so far. The technology behind creating such applications is not complex and can be straightforwardly understood and executed in order to create useful program. It will definitely improve the presence of a website over the internet. Many companies have doubled their output by adding rich internet applications into their internet operations.

RIAs have developed all kind of applications such as word processors, spreadsheets, online games. The benefit of technology is that surfer can connect to a website, use the software they need, and no need to install anything on their own computer. This technology provides a reliable experience for surfers who use Macs, PCs and other systems.

In todays scenario most of the companies are depending and taking advantage from RIA technology. YouTube is one such example of a website that is offering this service and which is built with RIA technology (Adobe Flash and AJAX). RIA community consists of software developers and business people who need to develop the technology and use for better future of websites.

A number of websites with RIA style interfaces include:

Flickr
Google Maps
Basecamp
Backpack
Odeo
Gap

Many are constructed with Flash or AJAX techniques. The key features of these applications include:

The user interacts directly with page elements
Part of a page is updated, as an alternative of reloading
More detailed information is accessible on the same page instead of new page
Feedback, authentication and error messages are given within the same page

These rich features are those that provide test to designers who wish to make sure applications are highly functional.
