Flex for RIAs
What is an RIA?
An RIA, or rich Internet application, is an entirely new kind of web experience that is interactive, smart, effective, lightweight, and flexible. An RIA offers the ease of use of an intelligent desktop application and adds the broad reach of traditional web applications.
Why Flex for creating RIAs?
Flex enables enterprises to create personalized, expressive applications that dramatically enhance user experience, increasing customer satisfaction and making users more productive. And, because Flex RIAs run on the Adobe Flash® Player software, installed on more than 96% of Internet-connected desktops worldwide, enterprises can reach a broad audience of customers, partners, and employees with rich content and interactivity.
