Ryan Stewart interviewed me a couple months ago about RIAs and the trends in development and design. The first question we address is how to get into RIA development. We then take a step back and take a look at issues around issues focused on the user and how usability and user experience are the most important factors when thinking about RIAs, the technology decisions will flow from there.

We touch on some of the aspects you should consider when selecting an Ajax framework, whether it's commercial or open source. We talk briefly about making the transition from HTML/JavaScript to Flex development, and how it might be an easier transition that some expect.

We wrap up by driving home the point that RIAs should be first and foremost to improve user experience.
