Education

In the last few years, web applications have evolved from simple HTML websites into engaging applications that provide a rich user experience. Adobe spotted this trend early and has developed technologies that provide some of the best user experiences possible. Adobe introduced the term rich Internet application (RIA) to describe these interactive web applications.

The two main Adobe technologies that allow RIA development are Adobe® Flex® and Adobe AIR™. Developers can use Adobe® Flash® Builder™ to build Flex and AIR projects. RIAs can run inside the browser or on the desktop (using AIR). Examples of these applications are available in the Flex.org showcase and the Flash Platform gallery.
