RE: [NF] The end of desktop software development?
Oracle said that before, didn't it? Over the past 23 years I have heard rumors and prophecies about PCs vanishing in favor of Thin Client appliances, and huge Intranet/Internet/Centralized Servers managing the entire computing experience for all End Users. The only thing that vanished for the most part was the Thin Client appliances taking over the End User experience. False start after false start, and millions of dollars made vainly in Hype-Investment by those organizations deluded into thinking they were certainly the perfect candidate for this brand new technology, only to have their organizations reverting to the more expensive (but more useful) PC-to-Server environment. Thin Client can functionally (not merely technically) work in the proper environment, but certainly not in all environments (or even most). Yet folks were tricked into thinking their company was perfect for Thin Net, and the sales person pushing them into the new technology had no realistic incentive to talk their customers out of a large commission expenditure. Time and again I have seen companies lose focus as their Thin Net efforts would crash and burn when trying to make Thin Net work at least as well as their more conventional (and previously operational) PC-Server architecture. So sad, yet funny as hell. Lemmings. I still remember Larry Ellison mouthing off about how Oracle was going to be the company to finally make it happen. Enough said about Oracle's impact in making it happen I guess. Long ago false prophets were stoned to death, now they get rewarded for being dead wrong. Nothing so new as something too old (1-2 years) for the current management of a firm to be aware of in Thin Net's previous existence(s). Much less the reasons why the previous efforts met with failure for so many organizations. I have become very cautious about adopting any new technology (or Windows O/S) until it has been in the retail market for about 2 years. No more being the first in the water, 'cuz that be where the sharks lurk...

[NF] The end of desktop software development?
Expect 2007 to mark the beginning of the end of desktop software development, http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/01/08/02FEspendappdev_1.html or http://tinyurl.com/yj34qv His thesis, that rapid development, test-driven development, SOA, scripting, and web-based updates are restricted to apps within the browser is just missing the boat.

In fact the more I read it the less it makes sense to me. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
