Java in the browser is generally crap. I won't miss it. Flash has
delivered where Java has failed where the browser is concerned. Java
still has a strong grip on the server-side, which is where it belongs.
JSP is hot, and people are still building servlets.
As DHTML developers, I would be more concerned with .NET. The .NET
suite allows you to take just about any application written in just
about any language (C, Java, C#, VB) and wrap it up as a web service,
accesible with SOAP. You know how MS Exchange creates Web page
interfaces for mail folders, etc.? Imagine that for *any* application.
That's part of what .NET does. It makes applications web-accessible.
It generates ASP pages for web page interfaces. Who needs DHTML when
.NET can simply spawn ActiveX controls for you?
And some people predict that .NET will be released for Linux/Mac:
