الحلقة 32, في حلقة هذا الأسبوع نناقش تطور برمجة الويب و نطرح بعض الاختلافات بين الويب قديماً و حالياً و التحديات المختلفة.

The simplicity and complexity of the web.

It used to be just HTML

Then Javascript

And CSS

And million libraries and frameworks.

Markup as a way for building UIs.

WPF

Server side vs client side (the loop)

Web technologies in non-web scenarios:

FirefoxOS

NodeJS Desktop applications (using Node-Webkit https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit)

Example: https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ I've used this desktop application and liked it, and a week later discovered that it's a NodeJS app.

Browsers as Operating Systems:

Chromebooks

FirefoxOS

Single-page applications (SPA) as a way to blur the lines between web applications and desktop applications.

Google's big push for AngluarJS is part of making web application replace desktop applications.
