Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud.
We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) describe what the software development community aims to do, namely break out of primitive Web delivery to deliver robust functionality, exciting data visualization and "thicker," role-based and process-oriented user interfaces. RIAs have made the Web a legitimate platform for corporate America, with RIA applications looking very similar, if not exactly like their native counterparts. Thus, past limitations of HTTP/HTML are no longer issues. Indeed, the interest in RIA has lead to a glut of technology start-ups, all looking to capitalize on this emerging market. In this session we’ll look at the value, architecture, and approaches for creating RIA, leveraging AJAX or other RIA technologies. We’ll consider design as well, and the end user experience.
