RIA and composite applications survey
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2958604/6582435
[Michael Meehan]
Let's face it, service-oriented architecture is boring. I mean, with
all that planning and attention to detail and consistency. Maybe that
appeals to the small percentage of people out there who lead highly
organized lives, but for most humans in your app dev shop the
efficiency and better business productivity of SOA isn't going to set
off any internal whistles.
For them the selling point on SOA is that if you get organized over
here then you can do some cool, new stuff over there. It's a
tradeoff. You want to do some fantastic enterprise mashup? Guess
what? That's not going to happen until you've got loosely coupled
applications with easily digested data. It's the adult equivalent of
having to eat your vegetables before you get dessert.
Anyway, we know that plenty of companies out there want to pursue
rich Internet and/or composite applications. What we don't know is
how far along you are with that work. So we put together a RIA and
composite apps survey to get a better sense of your progress in this
area and to find out what sorts of pain points you're experiencing.
It's quick and easy to take and we aren't requiring you to provide
any intimate personal information (seriously, we don't want your
DNA).
If we know more about your interests and concerns in the Web 2.0, we
can better focus our coverage on your needs. Whether you're working
on an internal portal, a trading application or a cool Web site like
BreakThru Radio, or even if that's what your company would like to be
doing, we want to know about your RIA experience.
We know you're out there, looking to push the application envelope,
yearning to turn all this organization into something creative. Make
sure you chime in on the survey and it will help align our coverage.
