I have been looking at latest RIA tools and services all these while. One thought came into my mind as to who are the people behind them and how are they defining their solutions/services.
The first of my series is Effective UI.
These are the people behind ebay's AIR desktop tool and few other Discover channel application. The reason why they require a special mention is that the number of downloads for ebay desktop tool has crossed 1 million downloads.
They also follow my doctrine of integrating Usability with RIA technology. Everything said for any application Usability comes first and then comes the technology used to deliver it.

Microsoft's Expression Design Event @ Chennai India
Well i got to attended the recently held Microsoft's Unique Design Event (Expression) in Chennai at "Dublin, ITC Hotel Park Sheraton & Towers".
Supreet Singh, User Experience Evangelist, and Pandurang Nayak, Technical Evangelist , did manage to impress the audience who had turned out in pretty large numbers.
What i was most impressed with was the sample solutions they showcased especially the travel website. You can check that out in http://www.silverlight.com/.
What i was not impressed by was by the claim that this tool can be used by designers who don't know any coding. The target audience should have been Usability Sales professionals, Business Analysts, Competency Leads, and RIA/usability analysts who need to come up with quick walk through for their clients.
One the whole Microsoft Expression tools shown did promise a lot but the real question was can it generate requirements from the client?
With its immediate competitor Adobe already way ahead and still going strong in this race track we need to see if this rookie can catch up.
