In the hustle & bustle of the cloud & mobile computing these days, one gets to hear very little on the erstwhile “game changer” technologies such as SOA & Web 2.0.
As far as Web2.0 is concerned it is living up to its promise and we are all witnessing the huge popularity of social networking sites. It is also interesting to note that these sites are contributing in their own way to technology evolution by fueling growth & debates on areas such as NoSQL. Also RIA products (Adobe Flex, MS Silverlight) seem to be losing traction as HTML 5 is gaining everyone’s attention as the technology of the future Web based UI (Adobe is releasing FLASH-to-HTML5 translator). Web 2.0 even has a mobile angle to it as more people access their Facebook using their mobile devices than desktop these days.
On the SOA & web services side, technology evolution continues, although at a slower pace with more focus on governance these days than migration to SOA. Some new SOA aligned technologies that appear to be catching public interest these days are CEP and standard BPM (with BPMN2.0). People also seem to prefer REST for building their web services as compared to the spec heavy (WS*) SOAP based web services.
