Rich Internet Application Development


  World Wide Web, since its inception; was tied down by HTML and its restricted features. Though, efforts were made to enhance web technology by introducing server side scripting languages like ASP, PHP, JSP etc but none of them were working to customers' satisfaction since these languages require constant server interaction and that takes some time. Besides, web technology was not as sophisticated as desktop and looked inefficient when it came to managing complex environment.

Similarly desktop applications, though intelligent and fast, were letting customers down by not able to run on web efficiently. Thus, users always felt a huge gap between web and desktop applications while using them discretely.

To narrow down or close this gap, Technology companies around the world started working on a concept that can integrate both the platforms and ensure customers get best features of both desktop and the web at one place. This lead to the generation of a concept called Rich Internet Applications, or RIA .

What is the exact meaning of Rich Internet Application, what are its advantages over traditional web applications and which RIA development tool is best for you???
   
 

The term Rich Internet Application, or RIA, was first coined in the monthly white paper published by Macromedia Inc (now Adobe) in 2002. It referred RIA as a technology that can integrate "best of the web" with "best of the desktop".

A Rich Internet Application (RIA) runs on the web but provides powerful features and functionalities of a traditional desktop application. Instead of centering on client/server technology in which whole processing is done on the server side, RIA uses client side technology to execute most of the instructions at client side only. Thus, RIA decreases response time and fastens customer's request execution.

The effect of rich Internet applications has been incredible, both in breadth as well as depth. Large financial services institutions are using RIAs to solidify their brand with customers and speed up internal business decision-making through better interaction with mission-critical data.

Online retailers have reduced shopping cart abandonment by almost 50% during the checkout process. Besides, Individual developers have integrated slick online mapping services with web cams posted on New York City's traffic lights to give commuters the most up-to-date and useful traffic information.
