From the archives- It\u2019s no longer just about Flash<\/em>. My article in early 2008 for Computer Arts<\/a> looked at what technologies to create rich media experiences on the internet and develop platform-agnostic apps means for designers\"art146richnetapps455\"<\/p>\n

Rich internet applications, or RIAs, are a cross-fertilisation of interactive web design and desktop functionality. The web becomes the platform, rather than users being confined to Mac, Windows or Linux, and the technology offers a range of new possibilities in terms of design and function. Companies including Adobe, Sun and Microsoft want developers to buy into their solutions, and they also have designers in their sights.<\/p>\n

The term Web 2.0 has been loosely used to cover the development of these online applications and rich media experiences, mainly delivered as popular sites such as Flickr, Google Maps and Facebook. These provide the features of a desktop app through a browser, enabling users to modify onscreen information, but leaving the data handling to an online server. These user-centred applications have been built using a combination of existing web technologies. Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is one way to build RIAs, while Flash is another, especially with the introduction of ActionScript 3.0.<\/p>\n

However, Flash\u2019s traditional animation paradigm doesn\u2019t suit the programming model normally used by application developers. To address this market, first Macromedia then Adobe sought to offer developers a more code-friendly model with Flex. This is a traditional integrated development environment (IDE) that uses MXML (an XML-based language) for building and laying out user interfaces and ActionScript to add interactivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlex gives you a component framework, in which you can use a text-based language to lay out an application,\u201d says Mike Downey, group manager of platform evangelism at Adobe. \u201cPreviously the only way you could do this was to use Flash, which is basically an animation tool.\u201d<\/p>\n

It will come as no surprise that Microsoft is also a player in the RIA\/connected app game offering Silverlight, a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in. It\u2019s largely aimed at providing a similarly rich online experience to Flash, though it\u2019s more focused on developers.<\/p>\n

\u201cVersion 1.0 of Silverlight really majors on rich media,\u201d says John Allwright, Microsoft UK\u2019s Expression product manager. \u201cSilverlight video uses the VC1 codec, the same codec that you\u2019d find in HD DVD, Blu-ray and domestic DVD players \u2013 it\u2019s an industry standard. We\u2019re talking to people such as Major League Baseball and broadcasters, who are interested in the video quality that Silverlight can deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently Silverlight uses Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) to define the components of the rich media interface and JavaScript as the programming model on the client side. \u201cIt\u2019s very complementary to Ajax,\u201d says Allwright. \u201cSome of the apps out there overlay HTML controls on top of the Silverlight player to give you a rich internet experience. You can have multiple instances of Silverlight on a page, and you can use Ajax as the transport mechanism to go back to the server.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dynamic updating
\n<\/strong>An example is the site for the 2007 Emmy Awards, which was built in Silverlight by Washington-based agency Identity Mine and Hollywood\u2019s REZN8. \u201cAs the awards were being handed out, the team was dynamically updating the site with the winners,\u201d says Allwright. \u201cThey didn\u2019t have to upload a whole new binary for the application. All they were doing was changing bits of XML on the fly, which were then rendered on the web page.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allwright makes no bones about the fact that Silverlight is a work in progress, but says Microsoft is in it for the long game. The latest versions of its .NET programming framework provide a graphical subsystem called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), used in building Vista and driving Silverlight development. Microsoft intends to use WPF more extensively in Silverlight 2.0, as well as encapsulating the whole of .NET in the browser plug-in. The advantages are obvious \u2013 if developers are used to creating desktop applications with .NET (Microsoft Visual Studio is commonly used for this), then it should be relatively straightforward to use those apps as a basis for RIAs.<\/p>\n

For designers, the present route into Silverlight development is the Expression Suite, a collection of tools for creating and working with the interface assets of sites and RIAs. Currently used for creating XAML components, the next version will have more of a focus on Silverlight and WPF.<\/p>\n

To understand the impression that Silverlight will make on the RIA market, it\u2019s useful to speak to a company that has worked with both Adobe and Microsoft technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cSilverlight offers an alternative method of developing rich interfaces for web applications, and given that it\u2019s in a very early incarnation it\u2019s better to look forward to get some assessment of what its impact will be,\u201d says Andy Hood, creative development director of AKQA, an agency with offices in the US, Europe and Asia. \u201cSilverlight 2.0 looks to offer many of the features of WPF and, as such, could become a powerful contender for creating rich application experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next stage in the interactive evolution are secure, self-contained applications that exist on the desktop, or even mobile devices, but enable you to work offline and connect online when necessary. And companies are already gearing up to take advantage. Microsoft is set to explore it with WPF and Silverlight, and Sun with JavaFX, while Adobe is developing its own Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first version of Flash created a SWF file that ran in a browser,\u201d says Downey. \u201cSeveral versions later we allowed you to publish a SWF to a phone. All of a sudden the Flash designer had to think in a different way. It\u2019s the same thing with AIR. Now you have the option to publish SWF projects in a browser, to a phone and as a fully featured desktop application.\u201d<\/p>\n

One reason why AIR apps are so attractive is that today\u2019s online apps are felt to underuse the power of the CPU. By moving them to the desktop, the user can save and work on local content and choose when to connect. One example is the Denver-based developer EffectiveUI, which has created eBay Desktop, an AIR application that enables local storage and desktop notifications, as well as faster online use through local caching of eBay\u2019s XML-based category structure. In another example, international consultancy frog design took Disney\u2019s existing travel-agent website and transformed it into a cross-platform desktop application.<\/p>\n

\u201cAIR allows for local caching,\u201d says Josh Bloom, design technologist at frog design. \u201cThat was a huge portion of the application \u2013 storing the most recent and relevant content was an important feature for agents. Dragging and dropping within and from other apps also made things much easier for agents than using paper and ink.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cApps such as email, instant messaging, media delivery, collaboration software, client and customer management software can all be built using AIR,\u201d says Sean Christmann, senior developer at EffectiveUI. \u201cMany enterprise applications have been moving into the browser so that they can be written in PHP, JSP and ASPX, and be universally accessible. I would argue that using a Flex\/ AIR front-end to those back-ends allows better information flow and better caching solutions, and you retain universal access.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owning the user<\/strong>
\nWith the power to completely design the interface and with no dependency on platform design guidelines, such connected apps can be used to extend clients\u2019 branded websites. In today\u2019s market \u2018owning\u2019 the user is paramount, and if an application exists online, choice is everywhere and users can click through in seconds. A constant presence on the desktop is an attractive option.<\/p>\n

However, creating a completely branded application such as eBay Desktop can be a challenge. \u201cA delicate balancing act was required in taking eBay\u2019s styles and colours and skinning an app that\u2019s simultaneously deployed on the Mac and Windows operating systems,\u201d says EffectiveUI\u2019s chief experience designer Lance Christmann. \u201cThe iterative prototyping allowed us to continuously explore and tweak the correct proportions of those three elements.\u201d<\/p>\n

From a web designer\u2019s perspective, the key strength of AIR is that you can author apps with software that you\u2019re already using \u2013 Flash and Dreamweaver both have exporters available for exporting projects as AIR apps. \u201cWhen you build a desktop application with AIR, you\u2019re using web technologies \u2013 HTML, Flash or Flex,\u201d says Downey. \u201cIf you\u2019re a web developer you already know those tools, so with them you can build desktop applications. You can repurpose code from your site and reuse it as a desktop app. You don\u2019t have to learn C++ or Java or any of those other technologies. The other benefit is that it\u2019ll all run on any platform; that\u2019s a huge advantage. Suddenly you\u2019re the most valuable developer out there, because you can build it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interactive designer Erik Natzke is already using AIR. He agrees with Downey\u2019s claims, but he also has a caveat for designers. \u201cThe only unfortunate thing is that the learning curve of ActionScript 3.0 is a bit steeper than it honestly should be, considering the legacy of Flash was as an approachable environment for designers,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Natzke feels the real promise of AIR is the technology\u2019s ability to reach the masses. \u201cIt\u2019s not teams of programmers that will most benefit from the ability to create a desktop app with Flash,\u201d he says. \u201cThey could probably already build those types of things in C++. It\u2019s the small groups and the individuals who see new ways to shape the interactive design landscape \u2013 and will now have the ability to do so with AIR.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hood expects to see a profusion of richer, web-like experiences on the desktop in the future, but he has a warning. \u201cThe keyword, however, is relevance,\u201d he points out. \u201cI hope we do not see an explosion of client logos on the desktop purely because it can be done. If we are not careful, the desktop could end up looking like an F1 driver\u2019s jacket.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only going to get easier for designers to get involved. Still in the Adobe workshop, Thermo is another layer for Flex that adds a graphical UI to the functionality. \u201cSo instead of writing a tag to add a button, I can just drag a button control onto the stage and visually reskin it,\u201d says Downey. \u201cUnder the seams, Thermo is writing out those same XML tags.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adobe knows designers are religious about their tools, so it will be possible to design an interface in Photoshop then drag it into Thermo to \u2018wire in\u2019 interactivity. It\u2019s definitely an area that will continue to see innovation. \u201cNew technologies are stretching what designers can do, particularly in the realm of application interfaces,\u201d says Hood. \u201cTools such as Blend and Thermo enable designers to do far more than produce stills of screens, as they may have in the past, moving them into closer collaboration with developers \u2013 which has to be a good thing.\u201d
