RIA is slowly fading in terms of it's definition.
When I first started the RIA Evangelism role in Microsoft, I had this nagging feeling that the term RIA was just all over the place. Depending on which technology you are backing and which stream of alliance you uphold, the truth is the term was destined Read More...

RIA Designers are smart.
One thing annoys me more than anything in this world, is when I hear folks whom aren't designers refer to them as "pony tail, black skivvy wearing..." and the comments trail off. It's not that I care whether they think we have pony tails, it's Read More...

RIA: 10 Questions on Icon Design - I ask our Microsoft Design folks to respond.

RIA User Interfaces, how much space do you waste?

RIA, building your control framework.
Silverlight 1.0 is around the corner, and it won't have controls assigned to it upon official release. Yet, this is something very important to the success of Silverlight going forward, as without a control framework there is really no point right? This Read More...

Finding that sweet spot between RIA and Desktop.
I've posted a bit on trust, around prescribing the rationale around why RIA (Rich Interactive Application) is an effective solution - yet - I've not decomposed the approach on when to use RIA vs Desktop. It's a pretty easy decision really, you first have Read More...
