Browser as a Platform
Host: Dylan Schiemann
The browser is emerging as the new client platform. AJAX, RIA, and the ongoing JavaScript performance races are fueling this development. This is most notably applied for front-end applications of SaaS and/or cloud applications, but increasingly also as a platform in it's own right, as we are starting to see browser-based applications that are not tied to a specific back-end system, but rather exists in them selves or integrate a number of other web-based services.
