Session Detail

The next generation of rich Internet applications (RIAs) will continue to stretch our imaginations with groundbreaking interfaces and creative, engaging experiences. However, these new applications will demand even greater cooperation and iteration between RIA designers and developers from beginning to end.

Catalyst will change the way RIA design occurs by allowing a designer to specify fluid application transitions and motion. Properties and events can be "wired up" in an application design without having to write any code.

Developers will use Catalyst to selectively turn artwork components into functional controls and assign design-time data so interactions and behavior can be visualized when access to final data isn't practical.
