Moving from Desktop to Browser

When Google first introduce Gmail with AJAX, people tend to get away with Desktop email clients like Thunderbird, Outlook. And it was continuing the move from desktop to browser throughout the past few years.

SEMF is also an attempt to getting close to the browser rather than the desktop. It should work right if we do the things fine..

I did a little presentation on AJAX to our juniors. There I was talking with them how web has governed the desktop.
And later I discuss these thing with Rajith my batch-mate. I just said sooner or later we will need only the browser with the OS. Because there will be web sites which hosts all the software we needed. Just the night Rajith came to my room and show how it can be done with little effort. He have created a nice web page which is exactly like to the windows desktop with one application - Notepad.:)

Cool!

Here's my 2c worth...
The next generation of web or Web 3.0 or Web Science as Tim Berners Lee put it aims to provide this sort of executable stuff on web isn't it? - simply the browser as the developement platform.

Well then we might be just headed to Web 3.0 without knowing it! :-)

Hi If you dont mind I think we are not in the WEB 3.0 with SEMF. Although We use kind of databinding mechanism we are not entirely picturing out Presentation (HTML and (X)HTML), Logic (Web Services APIs), and Data (Data Models) trinity in SEMF which are necessary to make sure we are in WEB 3.0. So I prefer This as an example of WEB 2.0. Still Not bad I guess.
