2009: Really Rich Internet Applications
2009 will be interesting. In this series of posts, I publish some thoughts/wishes about technological improvements in 2009.
The development of browser-based applications with HTML(5), JavaScript, CSS, which run on PCs, Netbooks, Gaming Consoles and Mobiles will become increasingly popular. Basis for this will be improved browser performance[1], better JavaScript libraries for desktop-like application development[2], and extended browsers, which allow access to OS functions (like local file system, background threads, location information, etc.)[3].
[1] Chrome, Firefox 3.1
[2] SproutCore, Cappuccino
[3] Google Gears, Phonegap, AIR
