Re: [Flashcoders] Public examples of Business RIAs
Here's one we developed for a Golf Club manufacturer who sells highly customized clubs directly to the public. http://www.gigagolf.com I think this is a good example of a business RIA because it makes the product configuration a lot easier than an HTML version might in terms of using the 'eFit' tools to determine best option for your measurements and instantly recommending (and selecting) the appropriate product options.

Re: [Flashcoders] Public examples of Business RIAs
Wow, these are two TERRIFIC apps - exactly the type of thing I was looking for. Many thanks. I'll start a list - if anyone wants me to send the final results, just send me an email. Re: Meinte's question (which is a great one) - I don't really have a good answer. I generally believe there's a small sweet-spot between what dhtml/ajax does best, and what a true destop app (e.g., vc++) does best, where Flash is the best option. For me at least, it's hard to define a general rule (maybe you know it when you see it) - but its when you need more custom UI controls or complex interactivity than dhtml can provide, but not as much horsepower as a desktop app provides. It's also key when you have a large, dispersed user base, not much control over the desktop, and plan frequent revisions and updates (all of which make an installed desktop app too expensive or difficult to maintain). Anway, thanks again to clark and stacey for showing this great work.

RE: [Flashcoders] Public examples of Business RIAs
I can tell you a bit about it: It took about 7 months to complete. It was worked on from July 2004, to February 2005. A large amount of time was dedicated to wireframing the application, and doing use cases, because the original request of the client was not: We want an RIA Instead it was: Our app is soo powerful, but no one is using it. As a result we spent most of our time on designing a new experience for the application, that got final results faster, and in less steps. From a development standpoint the client did not want to go the Flex route at the time. We weighed the options of using it, but neither our team nor their team felt comfortable enough with it then(things are a bit different now). We ended up building the framework for it from the ground up in Flash. The majority of the components are custom, other than a few textinputs and comboboxes. We worked with a team of 3 Java programmers from SNL that had designed the back-end. The app was originally done with an HTML face, but luckily it was totally Service Oriented. Moving it to a Flash interface was actually pretty straight forward. The challenge though was not in swapping interfaces feature for feature. We totally redesigned the whole process of how the app worked. The Java guys had to add a whole new series of entry points to manage concepts we brought to them, like Worksheets for example. One of our main goals was to make the application feel nice along side of Excel, the main tool for analytics professionals. One of the coolest parts of the project was that we were pitted against another part of the company that was bent on .net and smart clients. While they are powerful, our application turned some heads inside the company due to the fact that all that was required was the Flash plug-in, as opposed to the .net framework download. Many people were happy with the result, and it has got nothing but positive feedback from those that actually use it.

I totally agree, We used remoting for SNL as well. I forget the exact benchmarks we came up with, but it was honestly about 10 times faster when using remoting.

I'm sure there are hundreds of great examples, but most of them are not public. The few available through Macromedia are OK, but not great. The ideal apps would meet two main criteria: - It should include functionality that's not reproduceable with dhtml/ajax (e.g., custom controls or interactivity) - It should be a real substantive business-type application (e.g., not a pseudo-app that's really just a fancy web advertisement) Many thanks in advance to anyone who can suggest a few great URLs. I'll be happy to send a list of all the URLs I receive to anyone who's interested - just send me your email address, and I'll forward all the great apps I find.
