richability major page update

Sorry for the long posting break to all our readers - but we decided to switch our CMS before we publish further articles, as the old page has become blown up pretty much without any categorization. The new CMS allows us to have a clear separation between examples, tutorials and blog...and we really like what we did, especially the layout! Hope you like our new robes as well!

Ajax in Action 2008
30/10/08 05:22 Filed in: Ajax
This week Florian was attending the Ajax in Action conference in Mainz, Germany. He had several sessions & workshops in his "bag" and presented on hot topics within the space of UI development. Florian was one of the "not-only-Ajax-speakers", he was rather presenting on Ajax/Rich Client comparisons and when to use which technology approach. There is an interview with Florian which recently has been released on the conference page, the interview is available here for online reading.
Florian's comment about the conference:
"There is a slight movement in the Ajax UI space. New UI technologies are emerging and it is a tricky task to captivate the audience with 'JavaScript-only' frameworks. Of course the guys behind the frameworks still try to seed the message 'our JS-framework is the best in the world, you can use it for anything...', but usually this does not reflect reality and you can really feel that the audience knows about this. Rich Clients will not be the answer to all questions, the same way Ajax is not the answer to all questions. Both match for different kind of requirments, non of the two approaches is the holy gral for UI development..."
You can download Florian's session slides below. Of course the slides will give more sense in combination with "Live-examples", but maybe you can catch up the message as well based on slides-only...

Recently an article has been published by Florian Müller in the German JavaMagazin about the current state of Ajax. In this article Florian summarizes some general thoughts about Ajax and chalks out where Ajax should be used and where not. Unfortunately the article is written in German language but as soon as we have some time "left" we will translate - again, we apologize to all our "Non-German-Readers" (who btw. fortunately have increased a lot!). The article can be viewed as PDF below (simply click the article image) or viewed online at Create or Die.

Do you remeber this technology called "Ajax"? Yes, the thing which enabled developers to create these beautiful user interfaces with drag&drop, auto sorting tables and rich client like frontends! But is this the end of the road regarding user interface technologies? Or is there rising something new, something you should know about...?Read full post...
