Abstract

Two similar photography framework projects were implemented in the new Rich Internet Applications (RIA’s) Adobe Flex and Microsoft Silverlight. The first project was implemented during the Masters course called CS658 Distributed Computing. It was implemented using an Adobe Flex 3 client and an Action Message Framework (AMF) client/server interface. A PHP/MySQL server backend with a Zend Action Message Framework (AMF) interface was developed. A final report was written describing its features. The second project was implemented during the Masters course called CS693 Masters Project. It was implemented using Microsoft Silverlight 3 beta. Flex and Silverlight provide large Application Programming Interfaces (API’s). Applications can be designed using a variety of architectures. A component based architecture was used for both projects, which provides a basis for comparison between Adobe Flex and Microsoft Silverlight.
