Description:

Microsoft Silverlight provides a strong foundation for building Rich Internet Applications (RIA). WCF RIA Services introduced in this further simplify Line of Business (LoB) RIA development. It complements the existing Data Access Layer and presentation components in the .NET framework and Silverlight. They build on the foundation of ASP.NET and codify, evolve and support some of the common patterns in web applications. .NET RIA Services address the complexity of building n-tier applications through framework, tools and services. Framework components support prescriptive patterns for writing application logic and validation so that it can be easily used on the presentation tier. In this talk, we will look at the key aspects of .NET RIA Services preview. We will introduce the challenges of building an n-tier RIA and the approach taken to address the challenges.
