Borsch on RIA
Borsch on RIA: Steve Borsch offers an intro to Rich Internet Applications, written for the technology community at large. He says something here that many don't admit aloud: "AJAX apps (like Gmail) are a simple and limited development paradigm but is one that people are using right now since it's a quick way to build desktop-like feel into a Web app. All the strategic level technical people I know have informed me that AJAX, while cool, isn't a scalable, extensible or enabling methodology (and many have said, "AJAX is dead!"). RIA's are coming...and fast." The original RIA definition did include a clause on uniting the network-aware software that goes beyond the browser, but the capabilities of an unextended general document-browsing application do provide a nice gateway into the richer world of network-aware applications.
