Beyond Ajax: Software Development, Two Years from Now
- tx 19y agoThe article screams "Enterprise" out loud. Every other sentence has "IT department" or "infrastructure" in it. What a boring space, who cares where they are moving... Besides, since when Laslo, Sun and CodeGear became experts on where technology is moving? Everyone on their list, with a notable exception of Adobe, has NO solid reputation for being an expert in future software trends. Just don't mention Java please - it did not become what Sun wanted it to be. Without someone from Google or Microsoft, true software technology trend setters of the past couple of decades, that interview has little value.
- downer 19y agoSounds like a CIO all right.
- axod 19y agoI agreed with you right up until 'Microsoft'.
- estherschindler 19y agoHuh? There are three people from Microsoft quoted in the article. Of course the article has a tilt towards the interests of CIOs and IT managers -- it's on CIO.com. But I'm surprised that you don't recognize that's less about "does this individual really have the ability to predict the future" than "these are the guys building the most commonly used development tools." If a dev tool makes it easy for most developers to do something simply without the need for deep domain knowledge (i.e. follow a wizard), then by golly that'll be something that's commonly done. If the people who control the next round of dev tools think something is unnecessary, it will be left for programmers to do manually, "the hard way."
- Tichy 19y agoWhat's wrong with enterprise? Isn't that another word for a company that makes money, doing actual work?
- pg 19y agoUg, another one of those n-page articles with about 100 words per page, and no single-page option. I gave up after the first page.
