OpenAJAX: "AJAX Is a True Genie, Now Out of Its Bottle"
We live in the eternal present, yet think mostly about the future and the past. When we are able to stop time and consider what's going on "right now" or "these days," we often think about how our lives and times used to be simpler. How often do you recount stories from a "simpler, more innocent time?"
The truth is, there has never been a simpler, more innocent time. One doesn't need to be overly acquainted with history to realize this. But the temptation is there, to remember fondly how life used to be, somehow, easier. In the IT industry, this feeling is often invoked when thinking about an earlier age when IBM was dominant in all phases of the industry, when it was IBM being attacked by the U.S. government for alleged monopolistic practices, when no one got fired for buying IBM.
But from today's perspective, a period as recently as two years ago may seem to represent a simpler time, when WebSphere had clearly distanced itself from competitive products in the web development application space, and the only J2EE environment worth considering came from Big Blue.
Then came Open Source.
