  <full-description>Are you currently building web-based applications? Are you tasked with adding more interactivity to your web apps? Do you want to learn interaction design skills geared towards adding interactivity and richness to your web-based solutions?

Information spaces on the Web are becoming increasingly filled with complex interactions. Even simple transactional solutions like shopping carts and document management systems are becoming more complex with richer desktop-like interaction models. Today&#8217;s web designers and information architects need access to disciplines like interaction design and software design to create powerful and successful web applications. For example:

* The developers at a major financial institution are working on a mission-critical application that will be rolled out to more than 6,000 financial consultants, but they have no idea whether a Rich Internet Application (RIA) is the right solution. And if an RIA is the right choice, they&#8217;re unsure of what technology to use.

* The development team for a hotel reservation system would like to migrate their simple application to an RIA solution. Where should the developers start? How do they avoid making the same mistakes that other developers have already made?

To help designers solve these types of problems, expert web application designer David Malouf has created a seminar exploring some of the most important issues surrounding the web&#8217;s most sophisticated applications. In this information-packed seminar he will give you a solid introduction to RIAs and demonstrate the value RIAs can add to your web application.
