RIA and SaaS – Opportunity or Hype?


Recently I read a discussion highlighted by Herb Sutter on his weblog, Sutter’s Mill. Herb is a well-known and respected leader in development and C++. In his article, he covered many of the misconceptions that seem to exist around user interfaces for Internet-based applications. The question is – are developers and product managers thinking too rigidly when they approach a SaaS application? Do “Web 2.0″ and Rich Internet Applications (RIA) have value in SaaS and On-Demand applications?
