Developers who seek their fortune in the web business applications market must face and survive seven ordeals and success will only favour those who come prepared.
1. The First Ordeal: User experience
2. The Second Ordeal: Compatibility
3. The Third Ordeal: Time to market
4. The Fourth Ordeal: Finding the right tool
5. The Fifth Ordeal: Integration
6. The Sixth Ordeal: JavaScript
The race is over. JavaScript is the only native programming option on the browser and it is unlikely that this will change. Some love this language - others hate it. Attempts to circumvent it have failed. Ajax applications and Chrome Experiments have demonstrated its power and promise of wonderful things to come.
JavaScript presents the web developer with further challenges. It is yet another language that must be learned and mastered. Designed as an interpreted scripting language, it lacks the rigors of compilers hence it is more difficult to use when developing large and complex systems. For the same reason it is hardly used on the server-side, requiring the developer to think in multiple languages across platforms.
