[废话]准备迎接RiA时代。。。

又看到一段话，感慨web的发展，以及计算模式的演变。。。

Conclusion

JSF made a lot of promises a year ago related to UI, and now those promises have all come true... but in the form of the Java Desktop. With RiA/SoA, we have a return to a Client/Server of sorts, but this time with better deployment and better management capabilities.

With modem use declining in favor of DSL and broadband, and monitors getting above 21” and more, people expect to have a “Cinematic” (by Laslo) experience and more of an MTV look and feel. No need to develop skills in portlets or Tapestry or other html areas, there is no ROI. Welcome RiA! No more cross browser and back button issues.

It does not make sense anymore to develop additional HTML legacy applications; HTML is done for.

The future will bring more declarative programing, such as Longhorn's XAML and the like: http://javadesktop.org/jdnc/0_5/docs/tutorial/index.html
(But some people will keep writing C code inside of C++, ie, you should start getting used to doing UI declaratively, just like in Struts we do validation declaratively, just more things are in XML). People interested in the operation of RiA/SoA applications can join an RiA/SoA forum community at basicPortal.com. Yes, it's a PHP forum. One of the goals of the site is to re-implement the entire site in the Java Desktop, replacing PHP. The other goal of the site is to find clients that want us to operate RiA/SoA applications for a monthly maintenance/admin fee. Development is free. (No, we don't do html) Send us a paper mock up and 1st month's check (ex: $100 per month per screen for 3 years, includes operation and free development). Qualified developers that want in can contact me. (Again, the example of iTunes is good, they too have free software, just to underline a possible new business model).

I plan to publish an advanced example based on a forum using the Java Desktop.

Thanks to the Java Desktop, Java has a fine opportunity to own the desktop, once the Network Launcher issues are tunned.

Ajax的背后，其实是RiA。

RiA的背后，反映的是Web的变迁。

Web的发展，来自于network的原动力。

network的原动力最终导致计算模式的变化。

计算模式的变化产生新机会。

体会一下。。。
