Yes, this is a very strategic area IMHO. Web based apps have the
potential to be the panacea of cross platform development.
This has been visible in the additions to Delphi over time, but I'm sure
there are many more areas to exploit in this area - such as something as
easy and quick to use as ROR but more powerful, all inside the Delphi
IDE. Although all the bits are there in Delphi to write powerful Web
apps, there are still many opportunities for improvement to make
developing killer web apps fast and easy.
Now if only the browsers would come to the party and consistently
support CSS2 :(

No one has mentioned yet......but it seems to me the other real platforms
for desktop applications would be wonderful to target for Delphi if it were
feasible. This is the "holy grail" of software development - GUI software
that could run on any platform. Think Windows. And OSX. And Linux......
So far a bit of this market has been done by Java and browser based
software. I personally am very impressed by the quality of a lot of the
browser software, think of the banking/airline and Google applications
(Gmail etc). For this reason I do all my help in HTML as the same files can
be used for help or put on the web. Maybe this is the way it will go more
in future....browser based rather than any compiled language?
