RIA

Strategic Data Systems (SDS) team members, Ryan Cromwell and Steve Gentile, served as advisors to the Patterns and Practices Developer’s Guide, Prism, released by Microsoft Corporation in November 2010.

This briefing is intended to put your mind at rest as to the validity of RIA and what is means to everyday developer life. Hopefully after reading the briefing, you will not only be more inspired to work with one of the referenced  frameworks, but will also embrace what RIA stands for.
