It's an interesting time to be working on the frontend now. We have new technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, Canvas and WebGL; all of which greatly increase the possibilities for web application development.

The world is our oyster! However, there's also another trend I've noticed. Web developers are still stuck in the request/response mindset. I call it the 'click and wait' approach - where every UI interaction results in a delay before another interaction can be performed. Speed matters; a lot.

Yet, despite all this evidence, developers still insist on using the request/response model. A good example of the problem is Gmail's 'sending' notification; how is this useful to people?

We need to let the user edit the content without leaving the page. Now that we've mapped out our needs we can now move on to how we are going to do this. Gwt-eclipsecon-chat - Project Hosting on Google Code. This project is an interesting example of an application built using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Kelly and Miguel spent a Sunday afternoon prior to their tutorial at EclipseCon 2007 developing an instant messenger web application. The source for Chattr is available in the Downloads section, and you can either get the 'complete' app version, or a version that is 'working.' The latter was intended for those people who were following along at the tutorial.
