I-phone Versus Laptop with Citrix Virtual desktop

Just imagine using i-phone instead of laptop. Things would be more simpler!!!! So for those outraged with the Windows XP "running" on a "slow" processor like iPhone's, I say - you can all relax, the actual processing was done on a back-end virtual desktop and remotely delivered via Citrix XenDesktop.

WEB 2.0Ooooh

One bad thing about web is you read about one version which took more than years of time by more than a million researchers... in a mins time you come to see web 3.0.Well we will talk about WEB 3.0 in next post but for now just 2.0

Web 2.0 is a base on the web 1.0 with the same networking techniques giving more enhancements to the user interaction with the net. Web 2.0 sites often feature a rich, user-friendly interface based on below tags. Any internet applications made using the concept of web 2.0 are called RIA.

Rich internet applications techniques such as AJAX, Adobe Flash, Flex, JavaFX, Curl and Silverlight have evolved that have the potential to improve the user-experience in browser-based applications. Specialized protocols such as FOAF and XFN (I have never gone through this protocols, but I have given links below.) extend the functionality of sites or permit end-users to interact without centralized websites.

ADOBE AIR: I was in air at ninth cloud when i read about this.Dont miss the e-bay application.Its amazing.Best part of it is the response facts are similar to javascript and very fast than cache implementation.These applications are created as on-line application but there basic uses are for desktop deployment.

ADOBE FLEX: FLEX in simple wrds HTML + FLASH. being from the networking back ground I was not very much impressed with this outcome as it turns a web application very heavy n slow to handle but advantageous is the look-n-feel u get from this, it make's the user crazy about the site.Check out lee burner site. You will stick to that site more than a day..It’s an SDK to develop WEB2.0 with all the rich contexts. In context of web1.0 he can match html as flex pages and java script which dynamic content as coldfusion ability from ADOBE

MICROSOFT SILVER LIGHT: This not a framework rather it’s a browser plugin.Its just a sibling of Adobe flash with more good performance techniques. Worst part of it is it does not support any OS based browsers especially safari and other Linux based browsers. So it is also called browser-unsafe plug-in.

JAVAFX: This is my favorite... :)

It is a RIA frame work with similar to flex but performance was its very good than flex as they should be accessible by mobile applications that is using JAVAME.

If anyone wants to know internal content of any above applications .This site below is very good and informative
