Rich Desktop Applications are the way of the future. Thanks to AJAX, Flash, and other technologies, web developers can easily bring full-blown applications – not just widgets – straight to the desktop.

In this session, you'll see an application that expands the eBay marketplace from the Web to the desktop and discuss what’s next for the industry as emerging platforms like Microsoft WPF and Adobe Apollo make building desktop applications easier than ever. Learn what lives in the space where the desktop and the internet meet.
