2009 Technology of the Year Awards: Application Development
Adobe Flash, Flex, and AIR
Picking the top RIA toolkit of 2008 was no easy task. Our prize goes to Adobe because the Flash plug-in is supported on more platforms than any other RIA technology: Flash is used in many high-profile video sites, including YouTube; the design tools for Flash are excellent; the Flex Builder IDE is top-notch; and AIR allows Flash and Flex RIAs to be easily adapted for use as desktop applications.
