A new report released today by Forrester Research is predicting that enterprise spending on Web 2.0 technologies is going to increase dramatically over the next five years. This increase will include more spending on social networking tools, mashups, and RSS, with the end result being a global enterprise market of $4.6 billion by the year 2013. This change is not without its challenges. Although there is money to be made in the industry by vendors, Web 2.0 tools by their very nature are defined by commoditization; as is much of the new social media industry, a topic we touched on briefly here, when discussing how content has become a commodity.

For vendors specifically, there are 3 main challenges to becoming successful in this new industry, including: What is Enterprise Web 2.0? Most technologists segment the Web 2.0 market between "consumer" Web 2.0 technologies and "business" Web 2.0 technologies. Enterprise marketing tools have also expanded to include Web 2.0 technologies. Java is losing the battle for the modern Web. Can the JVM save t. A few years ago I worked on a very big Enterprise IBM Websphere project. We had some brilliant engineers in the project both in the development and architecture groups. I remember having had several discussions with some of the brightest people on the team regarding PHP and dynamic languages and generally they were looked upon as toy languages without a bright future. Lack of strict typing, scripting performance, and other reasons were given for why Java would persevere as the language of choice. This was the typical reaction dynamic languages would get from the Java community.

In parallel, the LAMP-like architecture built on top of the C language’s eco-system of libraries and tools started becoming the most popular platform for developing Web applications. As mentioned earlier the de-facto standard implementations of the successful dynamic languages including PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby are all written in C and leverage the breadth and depth of the eco-system of C libraries.

Tim Bray on the Future of the Web. 1. Hi my name is Dionysios Synodinos and we are here at QCon San Francisco with Tim Bray from Sun Microsystems, to talk about the Future of the Web. Mister Bray with all the buzz about Rich Internet Applications there are many that believe that the future of the Web is synonymous to RIA technologies. What do you think of the RIA notion in general? So when people talk about Rich Internet Applications unfortunately what they seem to usually mean is like Flash.

Things that respond to key strokes and wiggle and morph and have video and move around, and they say that we need these things because the web needs to be more responsive, and more immersive and more reactive, and I am generally speaking massively unconvinced. I am old enough to remember before the web when everybody spent all day every day dealing with reactive immersive response compelled applications usually written in Visual Basic or Motif or something like that and mostly really bad. 2. 3. So I simply don't think it's true. 4.

UsingES - es-operating-system. If you turn on the PC installed with the ES operating system, the following screen appears on your SVGA monitor. esjs file/shell.jsalloc count: 2400yypase() ok.% Once the ES operating system kernel gets executing, it will start the event manger (eventManager.elf) and the canvas service (console.elf) in userland. The event manager is a user process that records the inputs from the keyboard and from the mouse as events so that the other processes can get the events. The kernel then starts the ECMAScript interpreter (esjs.elf), which execute the command line shell program written in ECMAScript (shell.js). From the command line shell, you can use the programs like below. Namespace You can list the objects in the current directory by executing the ls command without specifying any arguments: % lsdevicenetworkclassinterfacefile % You can change the current directory to any place in the namespace using the cd command.

. % cd% lsdevicenetworkclassinterfacefile % % cat file/figure.js % exit $ . References. S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System. S5 is a slide show format based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible. Anyone with even a smidgen of familiarity with HTML or XHTML can look at the markup and figure out how to adapt it to their particular needs. Anyone familiar with CSS can create their own slide show theme. It's totally simple, and it's totally standards-driven. If you'd like to see S5 in action, go ahead and run through the introductory slide show (also available as a 186KB ZIP archive, the size of which is due to the presence of several images in the slide show).

If you like the general idea of S5 but don't like the theme used for the introductory slide show, then fear not: there are already a number of themes available, and you can of course always create your own.
