Last week, Julian (VP Sales, Zopim) happily accepted a speaking assignment at RIAction.. on my behalf! And the event was in 5 days!

Time was running out.. The first topic that came to mind was to talk about our history with RIA frameworks, and how we’ve been making use of Flex 3 (more recently Flex 4).

Given the short amount of time available for my preparations, I clobbered together some information from around the internet relating to Flex, the optimization of Flex and also added some of our own thoughts. I also discussed about the considerations product managers should have in mind when deciding on an RIA framework.

Interesting note: This presentation was actually done at Microsoft’s office (in Singapore). I’ve gotta say that Microsoft and their Evangelist team are doing a great job of creating an open platform for RIA discussion, rather than trying to shove Silverlight down developers’ throats. Good stuff..

Well, without further ado, let me present my humble set of slides..
