Factors and parameters you can use to choose RIA technologies. Revealed :)

My "Choosing the final RIA path" session  at the Web 2.0 Expo ended and people was very enthusisatic about my analysis of RIA technology. A person that works for Mozilla agreeded with my overview, advantages and disadvantages of XUL project. I was lucky because what I've said during my presentation was that it looks like Mozilla did not provide developers a strong support for this project :)

This is a small abstract of my presentation :

When choosing a RIA technology you should consider the following factors (Ryan Stewart blog posts help me a lot:). Thanks mate) :

• The reach (browsers, plugins …)
• Open Source over Commercial product
• Internal knowledge
• Development time (time to market)
• Community and Support infrastructure
• Need to manage
  • Rich media content (videos, complex controls, charts etc.)
  • User interaction (drag&drop, slider, date chooser, accordion etc.)
• Consider the desktop runtime player (AIR, Google Gears, Dojo Offline, Prism...)
