Adobe Flash
This is another major tool to develop RIA as
this technology is cross-platform and quite
powerful to create an application user interface.
Flash user interface can be compiled by MXML
(a XML based interface description language),
through using Adobe Flex tool. Adobe is
currently working on providing a more powerful
platform with the product Adobe AIR, a combo
technology of HTMLs (including Ajax
applications) Flash player based applications and
PDFs.
OpenLaszlo
OpenLaszlo is an open source rich Internet
application framework, which was developed by
Laszlo Systems Inc.. The OpenLaszlo server
compiles programs from LZX language (a mixture of XML tags and JavaScript) into either DHTML (commonly known as AJAX now) or Adobe Flash bytecode. At present it is upporting Flash7 and Flash8. OpenLaszlo is the only rich Internet application platform, which can compile two different runtimes of same code base.
Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight
Microsoft has launched Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) with .NET 3.0 Framework that provides a way to build single-platform
|
|
applications having some similarities to RIAs
that uses XAML and programming languages
like C# and Visual Basic. Besides this, Microsoft
has announced to launch Silverlight that will
provide a subset of WPF functionality on
devices and other platforms.
ActiveX Controls
Inclusion of ActiveX controls into HTML is a
very powerful mean to develop rich Internet
applications, but they have no guarantee of
running it on Internet Explorer properly. Many
times they can break the sandbox model. This
makes it a suitable tool to target to
manufacture computer viruses and malware.
Curl 5.0, Rebol 2.6 and Seaside for
Smalltalk
There are three alternatives of Java and the
JVM are available in the RIA developing world.
These are: Curl, Rebol and Smalltalk. All these
are abstract machines that are available in
various forms. Curl facilitates Client-side
persistent data while Rebol does not need a
browser and Seaside uses a minor extension
to Smalltalk to provide a much richer web
experience for Smalltalk. All three alternatives
are far more mature than more familiar options
and are as old or older than Java and the JVM. |
