It amazes me that Google and others are able to create such slick applications using javascript and a little XML. It has always been tremendously tedious to code in javascript and make it work cross browser. Google has done a great service to the web development community by releasing some tools to make the development easier.
This ignores one big problem, web pages are an extremely awkward medium to create an application. They were initially created to share academic texts. Only through the use of duct tape and chewing gum have we been able to coerce web pages to perform some nice real-time application functionality.
I do not know what the best alternative is, but I am hoping that it is some type of thin client that allows for the same functionality that we can create in desktop applications. I would also hope that it is built on open standards, easy to develop and truly acheives the "write once run anywhere" goal that has been somewhat elusive to attain. - Posted by: rkennel Posted on: 09/26/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
