Adobe creates applications for ‘living’ Web pages
The name of the game is Rich Internet Applications (RIA), and imaging solutions leader Adobe has just created an Open Source framework to help create such Web content — Flex — as well as a vehicle to run them — AIR.
At a technology summit on Thursday, to point at such RIA possibilities, Adobe showcased a number of compelling applications where both tools have already been deployed by corporates ranging from e-Bay to the New York Times to breathe new life into their Internet portals. RIA constituted a “massive unstoppable movement”, of which they should be a part, delegates were told.
Data will flow to users who will get to decide at what point they want to quit the ‘Cloud’ and revert to the offline mode of their desktops.
