Delivering a Usable Experience with Rich Internet Applications

with Stephen Webster

14thDec '05

About the event

Stephen Webster from iteration::two spoke to a packed room on how the Macromedia Flash Platform is no longer just for animation; developers can use the small footprint and high interactivity of the Flash player with enterprise software architectures, to deliver a new breed of enhanced user-experiences called "Rich Internet Applications", using technologies such as the recently launched Macromedia Flex.

Stephen demonstrated the business benefits and technological possibilities achievable with RIAs and how usability can be enhanced and accessibility accommodated within these richer user experiences.
