For sure, trends come and go even in our geeky world. However, the world is getting more heterogeneous and I don't really see what would make the pendulum swing back - certainly not in two years from now. We went from modal applications based on 80x24 ASCII characters, to windowed desktop applications, to model2 browser applications and now finally to native mobile iOS/Android apps. With devices getting more and more diverse and embedded service consumption moving into printers, TV's, set-tops etc. I don't see the current HTML5/Ajax model (Canvas, LocalStorage, WebSockets etc.) going away anytime soon. And really, I doubt very many are going to miss Swing, Silverlight nor Flash. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
