Everything old is new again: IA and RIA -- you know more than you think you do

Saturday March 24 2007, 10:30 - 11:15AM

For the last couple of years, there has been a lot of giddiness around the creation or Rich Internet Applications or RIAs. Their fluidity, animation and ability to present and manipulate large amounts of data makes them readily appealing to businesses that want to go beyond the linear processes that HTML web sites offer.

They are becoming more common and the demand from clients is increasing. If you are a practicing IA, there’s a good chance you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in RIA development in the near future.

What’s the buzz about? Well…

It puts customer experience in the driver’s seat!
It’s design-centric!
Design is the code!
It’s faster!
It’s cool!
It’s shiny!
IA will go away! ( WHAT!?! )
IA isn’t going away but it is going to have to re-think a few precious notions. There’s a different vocabulary to learn, a different development dynamic to understand and a few new pit-falls to avoid.

This presentation will discuss both process and dynamics. We’ll look at how some things will stay the same and some things will be different. We’ll discuss some built-in advantages when it comes to planning and usability testing as well as a few tips on things to help you work with designers and business owners.

Attendees will also get a free Visio stencil with transition icons for key-frame models.
