Excellent – off to TechEd again this year with a great slot sitting on a Panel discussing the future of Web Applications. I’ll be posting a few brain-dumps over the next few weeks to give you an idea of the sorts of thoughts flying around my head – am looking forward to hearing what the other panel members and the audience have to say.

We’re all surrounded by what’s cool and relevant now so this is an opportunity to star-gaze and imaging what things will look like in 1,2 or 5 years time. What is a web application anyway? Is my desktop twitter client a web application? What about applications that will run on my television? All interesting stuff.

The Future of Web Applications - Panel Discussion

Track: Web & User Experience

Speaker(s): Adrian Krzyzewski, Andrew Tokeley, Chris O'Donoghue, Darren Wood, Nigel Parker

This is a panel discussion so come along and contribute to the conversation. What will web applications of the future look like? Is the browser the right medium to deliver web applications? What about mobile devices and ubiquitous computing? What are the roles of HTML 5/Silverlight? Can/should they live together in harmony? Are web standards holding back innovation? What about Privacy, Security and Content Protection? How is the business of the Web changing?
