Outlook 2010: The latest web-related technologies overseas

What the 2010 Web will look like, or what the future Internet means, 2010 will be a year to watch. This article looks at the 2010 Web from 5 aspects, including HTML5,CSS3, font service technology, browser, social media, JavaScript framework, and SAAS.

1. CSS3, HTML5 and font services

CSS3,HTML5, as well as typekit type of font services, will bring more freedom to Web designers.

CSS3 's new features make it easier to display Web content, from multiple backgrounds to more powerful selectors to color gradients to rounded corners , all of which make the original complex work easier.

HTML5, though slow, will change the way we describe the page, become an important step to the semantic web, bring real local multimedia support to the web, and improve our communication with web content.

The Typekit font service, together with @font-face, will allow us to use any font on a Web page, and designers no longer have to rely on CSS backgrounds , JavaScript, or Flash.

What does that mean?

These new technologies will bring a new aesthetic experience to the Web world, of course, there will also be a new wave of abuse, and those Mongolian doctor-style designers will use a lot of fancy fonts and gradients to make their pages inaccessible, and for professional designers, these new features will make their ideas more appealing.

2. How the Web is consumed

Browsers are booming, with browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera all in the way, and users now have a wider choice, with more competition among manufacturers. The Battle of browsers has entered a new phase, unlike in the past, when the past browser rivalry was dominated by Microsoft and eventually wiped out its opponents, and the new browser dispute made IE a danger.

The way people consume the Web is also changing, and surfing the internet no longer means sitting at a computer table and turning on the computer, smartphones are becoming more common, televisions can surf the internet, SP3 consoles, netbooks , iphone,android Devices can bring users online experience on a relatively small screen.

The browser itself is also changing, Google Chrome will WebKit the engine, the majority of CSS3 and HTML5 features from Apple to the Windows,Google's goal in the next few years to achieve 10% market share , which will shake The dominance of IE, in Germany,Mozilla Firefox has become the dominant browser over IE .

These factors will also change our view of Web design and accessibility, does your site have a mobile version? How do they look on the small screen? What does it look like on a big screen? Does the Weibit engine, or the Gecko engine, or the Trident engine look the same?

The idea of accessing the WEB on a variety of devices is also changing, and designers are becoming aware that there is no need to output the same pages on a variety of devices or to provide the same user experience for different devices.

What does that mean?

People will find that the Web is different in different browsers, such as Progressive Enhanced Web technology is becoming more common, providing different experiences for different Web users. At the same time, abandoning support for old browsers is becoming increasingly acceptable, allowing users to push the pressure to browser vendors rather than designers. In addition, people turn their attention to content, function, accessibility, and focus on design and creativity.

3. Social media

No one will deny that 2009 is a very important year for social media, for example, Twitter has become a hot topic and it will continue to be popular. The development of a platform such as Twitter and Facebook has made the web a community-oriented web, and there is no doubt that social media will make a big difference and make a profit.

One of the questions surrounding social media is how to measure its value and get the value. 1000 Twitter followers value geometry? Will they charge for it? In the 2010, answers to such questions will lead to a major change in social media.

With these changes, real-time access to information will be the focus, and Google is already talking about real-time searches for platforms such as Twitter. How these changes are integrated with existing systems, especially search engine technology, will trigger some technological innovations.

What does that mean?

As more and more people participate in the creation of WEB information, the way we get information is transformed from a single source of the past to a more community-like source, and if we search for a garage, we'll see the latest Twitter or Facebook message from the garage instead of the stale static content.

4. JavaScript

As CSS3 and HTML5 began to dabble in JavaScript, JavaScript itself made it to the Flash house. Frameworks such as JQuery make the rich client, asynchronous and seamless user experience a reality, WEB application development simpler, and lead to competition and innovation.

JavaScript has been able to help us achieve what we used to do with flash, such as Interactive games , complex interactive data visualization technologies , and the rich customer interface, flash experience becomes more accessible.

Recently, JavaScript, which has not been upgraded for 10 years, has also ushered in an important upgrade (in Chinese ), and once browser vendors have embraced these standards, Web developers will have more powerful tools to create Web applications.

What does that mean?

As CSS3 and HTML5 begin to dabble in some JavaScript features (such as the selection of complex objects, dynamic rounded corners, real-time editable pages), JavaScript will tend to handle WEB applications and client-side programming logic. The latest upgrade of JavaScript will make it easier to interoperate between WEB applications (one of the main goals of JavaScript's upgrade is to implement the security rules for JSON objects ).

5. saas– Software is the service

SaaS (software as a service) is no longer new, like the signals of Panax Notoginseng, the SaaS ofGoogle Enterprise is becoming more and more common. The competition will be more and more fierce, the introduction of the threshold is low, those small manufacturers will have the opportunity to compete with big manufacturers, 2010, we will see this intensified competition and bring WEB application innovation.

What does that mean?

SaaS business model will continue to replace the location of traditional software, with more and more people on the Internet, people need to be based on the Internet can be interoperable systems.
