topical media & game development
example(s) -- rich internet applications
In a seminar held by
Lost Boys,
which is a dutch subdivison if
Icon Media Lab,
rich internet applications (RIA), were
presented as the new solutions to present
applications on the web.
As indicated by
Macromedia, who is one of the leading
companies in this fiwld,
experience matters,
and so plain html pages pages do not suffice since they
require the user to move from one page to another
in a quite unintuitive fashion.
Macromedia presents its new line of
flash-based products
to create such
rich internet applications.
An
alternative solution, based on general W3C recommendations,
is proposed by
BackBase.
Interestingly enough, using either technology, many of
the paricipants of the seminar indicated a strong preference
for a backbuuton, having similar functionality as the
often used backbutton in general internet browsers.
