Do you remeber this technology called "Ajax"? Yes, the thing which enabled developers to create these beautiful user interfaces with drag&drop, auto sorting tables and rich client like frontends!

And are you as well one of the guys who followed this hype? Well, then you might be as well one of the candidates fighting now against performance windmills, cross browser issues (even the distributor of the JavaScript library promised there were not!) as well as permanently searching for developers who understand the magic frontend code in order to maintain and etxend the your application...

Ok - this was little exaggerated. But there is a bit of truth in this and the time has come to consider that Ajax is a solid techology which enabled the web 2.0 to take off, but it will not be the state of the art technology for enterprises. For all these great applications such as flickr, GoogleMaps & Co it is (and will) stay best fit, but when talking about the implementation of a large billing system in a company it might be 2nd choice only.

„So what's next?“, you might wonder. Instead of observing the beach and waiting for a web 3.0 wave we simply recommend to stay tuned regarding new user interface technologies - which this is exactly the goal of richability.com!

richability contains a blog which informs frequently about the new happenings in the space of user interface technologies and corresponding backend technologies. But as blogs usually are "hints" only which will not prevent you from a detailed technology evaluation, richability.com provides an example corner which enables our reader to really "feel" the technologies rather than reading about these technologies only. And, richability.com provides control libraries (currently Flex 3 libraries only) which will help you to make development easier!

We hope you like our mix of demos, writing, tips & tricks and we hope we can put some light into the next generation of application development - the rich client era!
