Rich Internet Applications (RIA) is basically pieces of software that can be accessed through web browser. The primary advantage of this to the user is that there is no need to download any software for using it as it can be used directly from the browser. Several RIA technologies are available free of cost such as Adobe Flash, Adobe flex, Microsoft Silverlight, Ajax and JavaFX.

However, at times the user needs to install certain plug-ins if the browser is not the latest one. Usually, the RIA integrates along with the technology already built into the web browser. Now-a-days all kinds of rich applications are found for instance, word processors, spreadsheets, online games and so on. Not only this, it is due to these rich applications that one can even access their bank accounts sitting at home itself. Hence, these applications are specially meant for offering the user with high interactivity and functionality.

The three main benefits of the Rich Internet Applications are accessibility, performance, and consistency. RIA is completely about offering the user of the web an optimum experience over the internet and more than that it enables the companies to have a competitive edge in the market. The implementation of technologies such as Ajax, Silverlight can hence enhance the value of service oriented systems.]]> 12/10/09, 344 00 2009 2009:%i:1260428423 07:00:23 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/wpdfd_articles/what_is_ria_and_why_to_use_it/#p3190 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/wpdfd_articles/what_is_ria_and_why_to_use_it/#p3360

The world of Internet as we know it is changing at a pretty fast rate. Rich Internet applications are integrated onto the web world on a daily basis. I think this has led the users to adapt so much so that they could get things done at an efficient way as opposed to what was yesterday. The RIA’s most advanced feature could be perhaps giving the user an advantage of using it directly from the browser!]]> 02/03/11, 034 53 2011 2011:%i:1296723216 08:53:36 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/wpdfd_articles/what_is_ria_and_why_to_use_it/#p3863 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/wpdfd_articles/what_is_ria_and_why_to_use_it/#p3906 02/21/11, 052 27 2011 2011:%i:1298255270 02:27:50 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/wpdfd_articles/what_is_ria_and_why_to_use_it/#p3906 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/wpdfd_articles/what_is_ria_and_why_to_use_it/#p4067
