Rich Internet Application (RIA) - AJAX or non-AJAX-based - are the next generation of web applications. RIA describes a type of client application that offers a richer user interface which is functionally similar to a regular desktop application, but is deployed within a web infrastructure. This event aims to inform on RIA technologies and their benefits for business applications.


RIA for Business: What's next?

SPEAKER: Bruno Schäffer   COMPANY: Canoo AG

RIA is still in its infancy and providers are mainly focused on the core technology. Experience with large RIA applications shows that this is just the beginning. What are the challenges that lie ahead of us?


AJAX for Enterprise Applications – how to use, where to use

SPEAKER: Björn Müller   COMPANY: CaptainCasa

The AJAX basics are simple: some scripting in the front-end, some communication to the back-end processing. But: there are many ways to do so, and there are many frameworks out to try to support you. When using AJAX in an enterprise context there are certain architectural thoughts you need to walk through prior to starting heavy implementations or prior to selecting a framework. - And: after being a hype for the last three years people realize more clearly now where the limitations of AJAX are and in which areas AJAX is best positioned.


The RIA Landscape
