The web is flooded with prebuilt dynamic software packages now, but the next big thing for web programmers is clearly going to be seemless data interchange (notably different from "Submit to X!").
Talking to APIs, REST, SOAP, scraping RSS and other XML, that's the future. The big guys already do it, the rest won't be far behind. Especially as dynamic languages start shipping with functions compiled in that can do things like this. SimpleXML is cool, but imagine a function that could parse valid RSS out of the box. Imagine being able to feed a function an array and have it spit out valid RSS or XML.
