Application or Website?

Rich Internet Applications (RIA) are not a new concept; they have been referred to as different names along the way, including Remote Scripting and X Internet. The idea being that a Rich Internet Application (or RIA) is an application that has the features and functionalities of a traditional desktop application, yet are hosted, accessed and delivered all over the internet.

This was the promise of the dot-coms, but all that was seen in those days were static “billboard” style websites; this is our phone number, call us. However, we are just now starting to see such web based applications come to fruition due to ever cheaper server storage and an ever increasing broadband pipeline, as well as some technological advancements along the way:

• Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR
• JavaScript / Ajax
• Java applets and applications
• Google's GWT framework
• Microsoft Silverlight
• ActiveX controls
• OpenLaszlo
