Summary/Abstract: Desktop Applications have evolved to websites, web applications and rich internet applications. Web technologies have been changed in the last years, because they adopted the richness of the desktop applications. Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) support many features of a classical desktop application, offering a “rich user experience” based on a state user interaction. Rich Internet Applications provide advanced features such as direct object manipulation and animations that can enrich the user’s experience. This article discusses some aspects of designing user interfaces for modern software applications and the technologies used in the RIA context.
