Tim O'Reilly, co-founder of the Web 2.0 Conference, gave a short address on the 5th anniversary of that event at tonight's Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco and offered some thoughts on what's going to come next. He discussed five applications that he believes point the way. Two themes stood out: sensors will surpass humans in front of their keyboards as the primary data source on the web and Moore's Law will need to be applied to humanity's greatest problems.

I have not even heard of half of these! Will need to go and investigate....before I can vote for teh best one!

The idea of JDojo is to bring JavaScript and Dojo to Java. To achieve this, JDojo provides Java stubs for existing Dojo and JavaScript types a compiler participant to the Eclipse Java compiler that emits JavaScript files for each Java file compiled The programmer does not program against the Java JDK classes, but against Dojo and JavaScript stubs that JDojo provides. The compiler participant only allows a subset of the existing JDK classes and also limits the Java language constructs that can be used. To support important features that exist in JavaScript but are not available in Java, JDojo provides Java annotations that the programmer can use to instruct the compiler how to translate code. While the compiler still produces class files, what is of interest is the JavaScript code. Only the generated JavaScript code is executable, the Java code is not. Contrary to Java-JavaScript cross compilers, JDojo does not add anything on top of the JavaScript and Dojo types. JDojo programmers program against the DOM, Dojo widget and other existing Dojo classes the same way as they would do it when programming JavaScript. Therefore, the Java code a JDojo programmer writes looks very similar to the JavaScript code he would have written. However, the programmer now can take advantage of a typed programming environment and benefit from the Eclipse Java Tooling. The translator produces JavaScript that looks as similar as possible to the Java code (without the types), and matches what a JavaScript programmer would have written. This is important when executing and debugging the generated JavaScript; it is still easy to understand the JavaScript code and map a bug back to the Java code. JDojo also fits nicely in the existing Jazz web bundles. JDojo code is placed in a new Java source folder, while the generated JavaScript is inserted in 'resources' folder that also holds existing JavaScript code. To use existing JavaScript code in JDojo, 'Stub' classes can be added, containing only th

"The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a Web protocol for querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of applications, services, and stores. The protocol emerged from experiences implementing AtomPub clients and servers in a variety of products over the past several years. OData is being used to expose and access information from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, relational databases, file systems, content management systems and traditional Web sites. OData is consistent with the way the Web works - it makes a deep commitment to URIs for resource identification and commits to an HTTP-based, uniform interface for interacting with those resources (just like the Web). This commitment to core Web principles allows OData to enable a new level of data integration and interoperability across a broad range of clients, servers, services, and tools. OData is released under the Open Specification Promise to allow anyone to freely interoperate with OData implementations."
