Predicting the Future of Web Development
11:30/12:10
The Web has changed a lot since its creation as a platform for static articles. Early Web apps used servers generating HTML on the fly. PHP was huge, then declined as JS rose. Flash came and went. Today, the one thing we can be sure of is that more changes are yet to come. What changes can Web developers expect between the Web of 2019 and the Web of 2020? What about 2025? In this talk, Richard draws on 12 years of professional Web development experience, and of being an early adopter of React in 2013 and Elm in 2014, to justify several concrete predictions about the Web in 2020 and 2025.
