Talk at TEK·X (English - US)
Come listen to leading Rich Internet Applications (RIA) experts from the Microsoft and Adobe sides of the RIA space discuss many of the best and worst practices when building RIAs. RIAs provide a similar user experience to traditional desktop applications combined with the ease of deployment of web/browser based applications. This produces a fair amount of confusion because there are a number of potentially conflicting practices depending on whether you approach your RIA as a desktop or a web application. This session dives into the definition of RIA and walks through the best and worst practices that have appeared over and over again. We will explore architectural patterns and practices such as state management, fault tolerance, service composition, communications protocols and message formats and goes into details on how RIAs can be developed using runtime environments such as Adobe Flex or Microsoft Silverlight.

This was a nice, technology agnostic overview of do's and don'ts of RIA development. Personally, I would have liked to start with the "top 10 don'ts", which would set the stage better for _why_ the top 10 "do's" are such good practices.

I love top ten lists, and I really enjoyed this one, too. Some really great ideas where discussed, and I'm sure that I'm going to ponder these while I start a new RIA project over the next couple of weeks, which implementatation starting over the summer. The presentation was really fluid and engaging. Unfortunately, the "Top Ten" format has a problem, which is that I somehow feel at the end that I wanted more depth than what the quick fire nature of the style permits.

This was a useful one in covering the good and bad things to do. I found out that I was doing a bunch of the good stuff just by dumb luck. Of course, I'm doing some of the bad stuff too, so I guess I need to do some work..

This session was a bit disappointing, I was hoping for more emphasis on clean and simple technologies, but mostly saw stuff that as a disabled user I'll never be able to interact with. Good session but I'd have liked to have seen a session with a wider appeal - this is open source after all, we're usually inclusive

Nice highlevel discussion of RIA development. I'm currently working on a GWT applicaiton and found that your points work equally well for that environment.
