2 years ago I predicted the future of webapps

In future it will not matter which programming language or library you are using, it will depend on the Services you can use. IMHO SOA architectures and desktop integration technologies will change the way webapps are build. This process has just begun.

Data Portability, open architectures and standards will help to integrate web apps with existing desktop applications or even replace them.

You can already see this development going on by examples like OpenSocial or Adobe AIR.

Another big impact on webapps will be the use of mobiles, especially when it is possible to access the phone api (contacts, sms and stuff). Think of all the cool tools you can build!

And last but not least, people will change webapps. Real and virtual worlds have to melt, the web gets social, future web apps have to keep this in mind to be successful

And today we can see: the most predictions are true today :)

I’ve even won the google I/O Ticket, isn’t that cool? :)
