Panel discussion will include Adobe's Flex, Microsoft's Silverlight, and Sun Microsystems' JavaFX technologies and will host renowned i-technology industry commentators such as Coach Wei and Yakov Fain.
 
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are once again at the forefront of news headlines in the i-technology industry. RIAs address the critical front-end interface of websites, as enterprises worldwide seek to enhance the experience of visitors to their sites, improve the functionality of those sites, and optimize website performance.
 
The past two years have been notable for the rise of the so-called "AJAX" interface design approach, which leverages existing software technologies to create website front ends that are richer, faster, and easier to use. Now three true industry heavyweights -- Adobe, Microsoft, and Sun Microsystems -- have weighed in with their specific front-end design environments.
 
Adobe Flex, Microsoft Silverlight, and Sun JavaFX each offer unique and powerful environments for developers. Do these environments compete directly with AJAX, or are they simply part of the overall AJAX movement? How directly do they compete with one another? How robust and complete are each of these environments? Why should developers consider going with any of these approaches? Will some enterprises use more than one of them?
 
These and other key questions will be asked and answered at SYS-CON.TV's RIA Shoot-Out. The hour-long webcast will begin at 1:00pm on Monday, June 4. It will be carried live, and will feature an interactive Q&A session from viewers during its final segment.
