The future applications run on … the Internet!
I didn’t go to ETCon this year … but Phil has been blogging his experience. I am catching up on reading and saw this one about Tim’s presentation. I agree completely. The next generation applications are emerging and the Internet is becoming the platform.

In addition, many of these applications are being developed in abstracted languages like Java, Perl, and/or PHP … so they are not even being developed on a particular operating system … but instead in virtualized environments above the operating system.

This is the future …
