JQuery Developers based in Melbourne
Rich Internet Applications ( RIA s) are web applications that have many of the characteristics of desktop applications, typically delivered either by way of a site-specific browser, via a browser plug-in. Adobe Flash and Java are currently the top frameworks, with penetration rates around 95%, 80% respectively. Apple has consistently not allowed the use of the top RIAs in its iPhone, iPod or iPad devices and has instead delivered the applications through its own software and is now promoting HTML5, while developing the Gianuia framework. Users generally need to install a software framework using the computer's operating system before launching the application, which typically downloads, updates, verifies and executes the RIA. This is the main differentiator from JavaScript-based alternatives like Ajax which use built-in browser functionality to implement comparable interfaces. While some consider such interfaces to be RIAs, some consider them as modern competitors to traditional but quickly becoming outdated RIAs.
