  With Microsoft, Adobe and Sun each trumpeting their own rich-media content platforms (Silverlight, Flex and JavaFX, respectively), thirteen year industry veteran David Miles started dieajax.com as a resource for developers looking to shed their old XHTML/AJAX ways and embrace the future of Rich Internet Application (RIA) development.
