Star Bringing Desktop Applications to the Browser
Linked by David Adams on Wed 10th Sep 2008 15:41 UTC
General Development jQuery is emerging as the JavaScript library of choice for developers looking to ease their creation of dynamic Rich Internet Applications. As browser-based applications continue to replace desktop applications, the use of these libraries will only continue to grow. See jQuery in action, its easy syntax, how to use jQuery correctly in your own JavaScript code in your browser app, and how to avoid any pitfalls when using it with other libraries.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't feel this assumed change. Beside webmails that have been around since the 90's, what other applications are now more used on the web than locally? I yet have to see someone using Google Docs, a web-based multimedia player or a web-based photo editor instead of conventional desktop applications... Is this assumption that now people use webapps just a fantasm?

I use it at work, it makes sharing documents amongst co-workers easy.
I don't need (or have) a 'desktop' work processor at all.

a web-based multimedia player

Seriously? You don't use YouTube? Internet Radio?
