RIAs to the Rescue: Reviving User Interface Architecture Under Web 2.0

by John Tibbetts

This two-part Executive Update series traces the rise, fall, and recovery of UI architecture. Part I points out the proto-architectural elements in successive generations of UIs, up through the Web 1.0 cataclysm. Part II introduces RIA technology and discusses several implementation options for achieving this dynamic look and feel. I wrap up with a return to architecture and make the case that RIAs give us the opportunity to make front ends as disciplined and consistent as the systems they present to the world.
