On PHPEverywhere</a. today, there's this new post from John Lim with a look at what The Manageability blog has as the Ten Emerging 2005 Software Trends.
Firefox Browser market share will continue to grow in 2005.
Eclipse market share will continue to grow.
AMD will continue to increase its performance dominance over Intel.
Javascript will regain dominance in the space of Rich Internet Applications (RIA).
Java developers will continue to abandon EJB as the standard way of building Java based server applications.
Semantic XHTML will continue to gain mind share as the best way to encode semantic information.
SOA will continue to mesmerize the masses...
Large costly multi-cpu servers will be abandoned in favor of lots of cheap low cost single CPU servers.
IT Deflation will be the continuing trend.
Scripting languages will become dominant in addressing the needs of situated software.
John also adds a few of his own to the list, including: "Linux market share will continue grow", "Multi-core CPUs will be marketed as the next big thing", and, not too surprisingly "The semantics of Semantic XHTML will continue to confuse you and me".
