I think the web evolution is kind of where PC's were about 20 years ago. (Has it been that long?) We're commoditizing, standardizing, and relying on the web so much, that we've turned a hobby into an industry. I've often felt myself to be a casual web programmer, but really that's a hobbyist. I'm in the same place in my web skills that a BASIC programmer with a C-64 was in 1987, in relation to PC's. In other words, nowhere. Web development is quickly becoming application development, and the plethora of available applications one can use/buy on the web is just going to keep exploding. Apollo makes a breakthrough in this regard, in its claim to seamlessly go from off-line to online. I think this starts to bridge that gap of confidence businesses and institutions have in using online tools in their everyday environment. My brain is racing. What about yours?
