The main trend is web down PC

Bringing web applications to PCs is becoming an important development trend in the next generation web trend - Web 2.0. Adobe and Google may say 'pioneers' in this trend.

At the Web 2.0 Expo held in San Francisco (USA) yesterday (April 23), representatives of both companies demonstrated technologies that allow users to use the web application even when disconnected. Internet connection. Adobe presents Adobe AIR, while Google shows off Google Gears.

" It all depends on the developer 's choice ," said Ryan Stewart, Adobe' s technology platform expert. ' The previous world was limited in the browser world. But today the world is expanding, exceeding that limit. One of the major development trends is bringing web applications to desktop PCs . '

' Space for browser-based creativity is still very much ,' said Stewart. ' The browser is a very wide-ranging technology platform. The browser will be the driving force behind the development of many important applications . '

AIR allows users to make the most of online and offline resources based on the new AJAX application technology. AIR application is a true PC application that has full access to files on desktop PCs but is developed on the basis of web technology. AIR applications can be compatible with many different operating systems eliminating the need to develop multiple versions of applications for different operating systems.

Meanwhile, Google expert Dion Almaer said Google Gears - currently in beta - could allow interactive web applications to be "very natural" to PCs like other offline applications.

Another notable feature of Google Gears is this technology for standard HTML 5 applications. This is the standard that allows web application developers to enhance the interaction of applications with users.
