Hi, I'm Rich Tretola. You may know me from my personal blog at EverythingFlex.com or have seen me speak on the conference tour.

I am fortunate enough to have been given an incredible opportunity by O'Reilly to lead the vision of InsideRIA.com. Over the past few months I have worked with O'Reilly and Adobe to put together a team of rock stars in the Rich Internet Application world.

This is the Standards category and will include contributions by our Standards Experts, our Lead Expert, and myself. RIA is still somewhat new in the world of Internet development but there are some standards that have grown and will certainly be more to come as RIA evolves. The Standards experts will explore these standards and will offer information on how they should apply to the way you develop RIA. This category will also be offering full length feature articles, screencasts, and eventually podcasts as well.

I encourage you to visit the "Meet the Experts" page within InsideRIA to see the credentials of our experts and build a relationship with them by offering feedback on what content you would like to see and where you would like InsideRIA heading in the future.
