The rise of Web applications I'm writing this because i work as a developer and lately i've seen a huge amount of very powerful web-sites that work as a desktop application. Companies like Google have worked around this concept in the past, and now almost all of the social networking websites and even this one include some powerful functionalities. In the past web sites used to show static content only, by static i mean that there wasn't much interaction between the user and the website, you were able to see some text and images that could link to other pages, it was very simple. As time went by websites started to look a lot like a Desktop Application, imitating their behaviour and functional approach, it was called "The web 2.0". In december 2015 Google introduced a concept called "Progressive Web-Apps" which states that Web apps should be as powerful as a mobile apps. To have this power Web apps should support a couple things like: 1)Offline functionality 2)Notifications 3)Safe (using https protocols) 4)Installable The future of web apps looks quite interesting, so i wonder if in the near future Native mobile apps will be able to survive. More thoughts coming soon!
