About RIA
Rich Internet Application is a web application resembling the features of a desktop application. These web applications differ from the conventional web applications in numerous ways. RIA enable effective communication between you and your clients. RIA applications include several features which counter the disadvantages of traditional websites. RIA enhances the data performance as the server communication is minimized to a great extent. This helps in saving a lot of time when browsing the website. That coupled with stunning visuals, rich graphics and state-of-the-art backend integration, provides a much better user experience across the verticals.
Benefits of RIA
The emergence of new technologies such as Adobe FlexTM , Microsoft® SilverlightTM and AJAX not only take performance management to the next level, but also enables the user to benefit from 'rich' UI and enhanced performance at the same time. These technologies facilitate the users in various ways:
A technology widely known as 'no-refresh', where the transition from one set of information to another is instantaneous and visually more appealing
Offer users a richer, more engaging experience
Keep pace with users' rising expectations
No major installation required. Updating and distributing the application is an instant and automatic process
Users can use the application from any computer equipped with an Internet connection regardless of the operating system running on that computer
Web-based applications are generally less prone to viral infections contrary to the desktop applications
Flex-vantage
Rich User Experience
Applications developed using Flex ensure rich user experience through intuitive interaction with the application and a visually rich interface. The output is a flash player file (.swf) which is the most popular client software worldwide.
High Performance
The highly evolved client environment of Flex allows the applications to process large amount of information at client-end without any noticeable change in performance of the applications. This is in contrast to conventional DHTML applications which routinely crash if the record set is scaled up.
Advanced Client-Server Interactivity
Flex enables advanced interactivity between client and server allowing high performance data transmission. This makes Flex an ideal RIA framework for enterprise applications.
Diverse Modes
Flex supports diverse modes of presenting data with an integrated development model for complete customization and control. Applications are highly customizable and make the most of Flex to deliver complex customers needs.
Strong Development Model
Flex offers a strong development model that combines ActionScript and MXML. ActionScript is based on ECMA standards and is widely used by developers, whereas MXML is a component based language, similar to XML, allowing smoother manipulation of controls within Flex. A combination of these two employs a robust framework to deal with complex enterprise level applications.
Integration with other technologies
Flex can be integrated seamlessly with almost all popular middle tier technologies like PHP, .NET, JAVA, ROR etc.
