Le HTML5 continue sa progression et les débats se poursuivent concernant la pertinence des technologies propriétaires telles que Flash, Silverlight ou Java FX.
Brad Becker, Director of Product Management, Developer Platforms chez Microsoft a probablement publié un des billets les mieux structurés et complets sur le sujet - The Future of Silverlight.
L’essentiel du billet se résume dans ce paragraphe auquel je ne peux qu’adhérer.
But standards are only half of the story when we think of the advancement of our industry.
Broadly-implemented standards are like paved roads.
They help the industry move forward together.
But before you can pave a road, someone needs to blaze a trail. This is innovation.
Innovation and standards are symbiotic—innovations build on top of other standards so that they don’t have to “reinvent the wheel” for each piece of the puzzle. They can focus on innovating on the specific problem that needs to be solved. Innovations complement or extend existing standards.
Widely accepted innovations eventually become standards. The trails get paved.
Délicieux.
