I remember when I decided to make the switch from typical web development technologies to Flash. At the time, I saw something in the Flash Platform which I felt clearly set it apart from all other client side web technologies available (ASP, JSP, DHTML, JavaScript etc).

Somehow I just knew it was going to be BIG!

This so-called “something” which I saw, would eventually evolve to become the buzzword we all know so well today – Rich Internet Applications.

So whats the moral of this story?

The moral of the story is this: I never would have imagined that what my intuition told me about the Flash Platform years ago will continue to hold true for the next decade and beyond!

To help you better understand what I am talking about please read the following from Robert X. Cringely of PBS:
