Have you ever wondered what the guy who invented the World Wide Web is up to these days? What about the guys who created Photoshop, or the one who created the PHP scripting language?
This is what Microsoft’s homepage looked back in 1994 when it was first launched, and its evolution during the following years.
Tim Bray talks about why he is not convinced with the buzz surrounding Rich Internet Applications and shares his ideas on Cloud Computing. He also expresses his opinion regarding the debate REST vs. WS-* and the future directions web technologies will be taking.
For the other 99.9% of web applications, scripting languages or C/C is a better choice, and the complexity that Java introduces is despicable, and in my opinion, making the choice for Java is doing a disservice to your company in terms of cost (both development time and hardware).

Mon titre est un peu accrocheur et inexact mais il témoigne d’un mouvement d’origine norvégienne de ras-le-bol généralisé vis-à-vis d’Internet Explorer 6, le navigateur de Microsoft véritable cauchemar vivant de tout webmaster un tant soit peu respectueux des standards.
Le bug qui a frappé la page recherche de Google samedi dernier, entre 14h27 et 15h25 GMT, permet de mesurer tout le poids pris par le moteur de recherche dans nos habitudes d'internautes. Ainsi, c'est rien moins qu'une baisse de 21 % du trafic web qui a, alors, été engendrée, avec des pics à près de 30 % d'effondrement.

Over the last months, we’ve analyzed numerous Web designs, observing emerging trends and weighing the merits of numerous design decisions and coding solutions.

We also discuss situations in which these trends can be used and present some beautiful examples.
CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) are becoming increasingly popular. The obvious benefit is that they can help websites to give end users a speedier web surfing experience, but there is also another very positive side effect for the entire Internet, and it will become more noticeable the more common CDNs become. The positive side effect is this: More CDN usage means less load on the Internet backbone.
Still far too high a percentage and enough to make you grown. Also, the last few pounds are the hardest to lose. The good news for me is that on most Web applications that I personally work, and definitely those that I work on in early 2009 will have much different numbers.
Today is the day a great portion of the community has been waiting for, even without knowing that it will be today. As our early Christmas present, we finalized the 1.2 release of symfony after some weeks of hard work. We will be revealing more presents soon, stay tuned :-)

To give you some perspective, in 1996… * Google.com didn’t exist yet. * In January 1996 there were only 100,000 websites, compared to more than 160 million in 2008. * The web browser of choice was Netscape Navigator, followed by Microsoft Internet Explorer as a distant second (Microsoft launched IE 3 in 1996). * Most people used dial-up Internet connections with mighty speeds ranging from 28.8Kbps to 34.4Kbps. Highly modern 56Kbps modems would arrive in 1997. * People had only recently started to switch from 640×480 to 800×600 screen resolutions.
After lunch, Dustin Whittle talked about the "Lessons learned at Yahoo" and Fabian Lange gave some tips on "symfony performance". That was enough for symfony. So, Jonathan Wage came on stage to talk about Doctrine.

J'en ai pris plein la tête dans les 20 premiers commentaires de ma dernière brève sur Google Chrome mais je reste tout de même sur mes positions. Je vais essayer d'expliquer pourquoi plus en détail, sans tomber dans la paranoïa, car il y a pas mal d'incompréhensions et c'est à mon avis important que chacun sache ce qui est en train de se passer actuellement pour l'avenir du Web afin de pouvoir agir de manière responsable. Ce ne sont que des réflexions personnelles dans la continuité de ma définition du GWeb et je ne vous demande pas d'y adhérer, juste d'y réfléchir.
La rumeur était fondée ! Google a confirmé lancer le 2 septembre 08 la version bêta de son propre navigateur web open source : Google Chrome. Ce matin, seul le comic book de présentation, dévoilé dès lundi par le dessinateur McCloud sur blogoscoped, est accessible à tous.
The symfony web debug toolbar is one of the developer best friend. It is always conveniently accessible in the browser when using the development environment. It gives you everything you need to know about the current page and ease the debugging of your applications. Until now, all the information available in this toolbar were hardcoded. But as of symfony 1.2, the web debug toolbar is entirely configurable.

Although Beta 2 of Internet Explorer (IE) 8 isn’t due out until some time in August, Microsoft is cautioning Web site owners now that they need to be prepping now for possible problems the new, more standards-compliant browser may cause. As part of this week’s IE June Security Update for IE8 Beta 1, Microsoft introduced a new tag, “IE EmulateIE7″ — which it is counting on to head off some of the incompatibilities the company is anticipating could occur, based on feedback it received from IE 8 Beta 1 testers. Bon courage à tous les développeurs web !
eBay traverse une crise d’identité. La société qui a aidé à façonner le commerce en ligne 1.0 est confrontée actuellement à une dure réalité: le commerce sur le web ne ressemble plus à ce qu’il était il y a une décennie. Les enchères -le cœur de la société- ont perdu l’essentiel de leur pouvoir d’attraction. Et eBay doit se recomposer une image de marque pour préserver ses revenus et ses bénéfices.
