Long gone are the days of static web pages on the Internet. In fact there is a large war on the Internet for which technology will ultimately became the standard for the Internet.

In one corner we have Adobe’s flash, which was originally for web videos, but has worked it’s way into whole sites being designed with flash. With Flash’s integration in Microsoft silver light, it would seem that Adobe is quickly becoming more and more used. Internet Explorer is still the primary web browser, so Adobe stands to gain a huge portion of the market just from this partnership.

In the second corner we have HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, and this is the backbone of the Internet and has been for many years. Almost every page live today uses HTML in one form or another. Our browsers are built around this technology and have been since their conception. Javascript and AJAX were almost completely built around HTML and javascript is the most widely used scripting language on the internet. Recently Java has been vastly updated and revamped for modern technology, and javascript isn’t going anywhere. Ajax is also catching on very quickly and has been building steam for the last three or four years, I see AJAX growing faster than ever and there are no signs that this progress will halt anytime soon.

While it would be nearly impossible to say for certain which technology will win the web development war, many companies are investing millions of dollars into technology that has a huge impact on this.

If your hiring people to build a new project, you need to invest some serious time into choosing your technology. If you pick the wrong one your application will be outdated before it is finished and will become a relic of the past. This could mean the difference between making a good investment or wasting thousands of dollars for something that will never pay off.

This choice can be very difficult and time consuming, CleverStart is here to help you make that choice and implement it.
