With HTML and the upcoming WebSockets standard we will see a shift in web programming. Web applications are getting true client server systems in a much more difficult environment than a traditional (high-speed, low latency) company IT world.

Than on the other hand - and we've seen examples in the smalltalk world already - solution will be available to produce desktop apps (using the same technology as mentioned above - but in an all-in-one-server app) and Internet based web applications.

The base key technologies in this area will be how to handle the client approach and what the part of Smalltalk can be here and a way to do data exchange between internet database and local database.

The server part ? Well integrate the WebSocket technology by the vendors and free Smalltalk projects and you have Smalltalk there.
