HTML5 . Atom . MySpace & Facebook . Net Neutrality

JOSHUA ALLEN
Microsoft Senior Evangelist

Joshua Allen is a Senior Evangelist at Microsoft, helping large consumer facing web sites adopt Microsoft's user experience technologies. In 9 years at Microsoft, he's shipped several products including APIs for XML and services for MSN, as well as worked with many of the large web sites during the first dot-com era.

1. Web standards will matter more than ever, as more development shifts to the web: HTML5 will eclipse XHTML. Atom Publishing Protocol will emerge as a key component of the programmable web, as will Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE). Interest in using pure web standards for mobile development will increase, and will become more practical by the end of 2008.

2. MySpace and Facebook will remain the dominant social networking sites. All social networking sites will have platforms, but interop will be spotty as the players compete to “value-add” services beyond the interop profile.

3. Ad agencies will be more important, not less, by end of 2008.

4. Disparity between bandwidth haves and have-nots will grow. Net neutrality will take an even worse beating in 2008 than 2007.

Don Babcock wrote: The one technology that didn't even get mentioned in this list of "the next big things" and prognostications is rules engine technology. Rules engine technology is to "M" and and to some extent the "C" parts of MVC (which was mentioned in several ways) what the word processor is to writing and the database engine is to information storage and retrieval. The potential for "mashups" and the like is HUGE. Writing code with meta descriptions and code generators can only get you incremental improvements in productivity. Rules Engines can deliver (they have for us) order of magnitude productivity/reliability improvement. I guess they are still below the radar of the pundit prognosticators for 2008.
