[IxDA Discuss] Books on IxDA and RIAs?

[pauric]

Alan: "What I'm looking for is concrete discussion of how I should
(re)think workflows, user goal achievement, and design patterns when
I have a technology like AJAX available to me."

As we are increasingly less dependent on the constraints of the
underlying platform, i.e. cloud & desktop UI capabilities merging. 
Maybe your question could be; 

'how I should (re)think workflows, user goal achievement, and design
patterns' in a particular context? be that social, creative or
exploratory user modes.  Other questions I  see raised with the new
paradigm are 

-How to address the need for an offline mode
-Privacy
-identity

anything else?

While Andrei is right on one hand that you can pick up a book from
'82 and it will be of great use.  The context of use has changed so
much that there's an entirely different dimension to applications
nowadays.  To a certain degree that book from '82 will raise as many
questions as it answers.

For example.  Pick the version of MS Word before it caught
feature-itis.  How would it stack up against Zoho (or insert favorite
online app)  Similarly Outlook v. Gmail.

Just throwing this out there.. saying that RIA's can be like ye olde
.exe's is only going to address some of today's requirements.
