The Web Grows Up

One of the things I do in my capacity as "a person who uses the Internet a lot" (such as for a paycheck) is read, trawl, search the Web.

I see a trend that is not at all remarkable, and one that I believe that I've commented on before.

Or not. Whatever.

The Web is growing up: I commented on this recently (March 15, regarding BlogLash - there, I found it....one instance of...).

One result of this maturation is maturation of the ways in which the code that is parsed by servers and sent to your browser is generated.


But I babble (so?).

The upshot of all this is that the emphasis, for better or for worse, is once again squarely on the backend. The hell with the presentation layer (except for the look - NOT the feel [usability] ); that's gravy; that can be fixed later.

To a large extent, this is not a bad way to look at things.

And - as tools get better on the backend - the tools will help the front end. I expect MS to be a big part of this, even though I hate its Front Page, as mentioned above. (Bad code generated! Bad! Bloated!)

OK, those are the (my) facts.

What are the results of this? More to follow...
