Actually, I'd say : let's keep an eye on the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web]Semantic Web[/url], comprised of different technologies as described in that article - the web's "architecture" is trying to emulate a neural system to a degree. Interesting. Other than that, good to know about the CSS2 and xhtml bits. Other than that, [url=http://www.alistapart.com/articles/previewofhtml5]Ala's preview of HTML 5[/url] is something to keep an eye on as well. Other than that, there is a commercial battle ahead between Ajax frameworks, [url=http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/]Adobe Flex,[/url] [url=http://silverlight.net/]Microsoft silvershite (that one is ugly - tried, laughed, uninstalled),[/url] [url=http://www.openlaszlo.org/]OpenLaslzo[/url], and [url=http://sun.com/javafx]JavaFX (I like).[/url] All of these have advantages and shortcomings, all of these focus on delivering some tighter integration between rich content, smart clients, and fast server/client interaction, within a given development framework. JavaFX is nice because it allows easy description of web GUI : the language is simple, for features it depends on the web start application deployment architecture, for content it depends on web services and the likes, so check the demos, some really are nice (OpenGL components in a web interface). OpenLaszlo, I haven't tried, it sounds great in terms of respecting web standards. Silverlight, well, I guess if you like .Net... but it really does not bring anything new, and the resulting "sample applications" are so bad it hurts for most of them. Time will tell. "Ajax" philosophy is still the pillar, and Flex seems to really deliver nice things. Drifting a bit from a pure "what's new" discussion, I'd like to (re)introduce [url=http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/jseclipse/]Adobe JSeclipse.[/url] Now that one seems like a nice development tool for js. :) And I think we have the outline covered. Details about a "semantic web" and a test browser for "HTML 5" are next. Loading...
