Some Good Thoughts on the Future of RIAs

Posted on by

Anthony Franco, who I don’t believe is aggregated on MXNA and seems to work for effectiveUI has a really good post about The Future of Rich Internet Applications. What I like best about it is that it isn’t coming from the viewpoint of either Adobe or Microsoft but rather a company that is creating applications for customers. In the end, the customers decide what technology best suits their needs. There are definitely going to be contrasts between how Microsoft and Adobe go about solving those problems, but it doesn’t mean one is “better” than the other. I like Andy’s Anthony’s (sorry mate) look at things.

    Great find :)

    He does provide a balanced post, whether he’s wrong or right, it’s probably what the average punter out there is thinking.

    I think more and more developers are going to focus on covering all basis, because the customers are likely the ones to decide whether WPF is thumbs up or AJAX/FLASH is the thumbs up.

    The old days of simply being a developer of the one brand is likely to change, just like it used to be when the Netscape and IE wars were on.

    Look at how far we have come since then?

    I wish more and more posts were out there like this.
