What is RIAction?
Singapore’s very first RIA ( Rich Internet Applications) Event - RIAction will be taking place on the 26th February 2009, RIAction will see speakers from Google, Microsoft, Adobe, together with community leaders, coming together for a day of technological updates, roadmaps and application showcase!

Why RIA?
In the recent years, we have see a proliferation of RIA applications, ranging from Instant Messaging on the Web, to image / video editing. Users now achieve desktop functionality with nothing but just a web browser. Client technologies like Adobe Flex, Adobe AIR , Microsoft Silverlight, and the maturing of Javascript Frameworks like JQuery has enabled end-users to enjoy never before desktop-like features on web applications. Together with the lowering cost of server solutions enabled by Cloud technologies like Google Apps Engine and the access of various web services like Google Maps and Google Contacts, the industry and the end-users are seeing more and more quality and engaging Rich Clients that enable them to purely use the browser to access functionality that was previously ruled by Desktop applications. On the other hand, desktop applications can now access various web service easily, creating a new range of occasionally-connected applications.

Sounds Interesting. How do I get involved?
