RIA Technologies

Today, there are several technology choices developers have when they start building RIAs. Among the more popular choices are HTML-based options, such as Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML), as well as plug-in-based options such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, and Laszlo which all run in Flash Player. A new option from Microsoft seems to be on the horizon because the Microsoft channels are abuzz with talk of XAML and the Windows Presentation Foundation.
There are four different run times on which the current RIA landscape is based. Those are Ajax, which is supported by Dojo, OpenRico, Backbase and the Yahoo ToolKit; Flash Player, which is used by Flex and Laszlo; Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), which is Microsoft's not yet released platform; and Java, which is used by AWT, Swing, and Eclipse RCP. It seems that both the Java and WPF solutions are taking aim at desktop applications, rather than RIAs although they could be used
for RIAs as well.
