I just came back from FOWA London.

Here are some notions I came up with after the last week.

• The Cloud (an higher level aproach for problem solving) – for the past 6 months i’ve been very busy developing a pretty hardcore User Interface Javascript Library. I realized that higher level web is just brighter and colorfull then that. Not that I feel I was loosing time reinventing the weel – no – this kind of projects kick you up a bit as a developer… but the notion of Cloud Computing is getting around to stay. Yes, we need some foundation to build over, but lot of the job has been done with extremely good quality outthere.
• Kids grew up. Yeah, those mac fans, iPhone addicteds, internet freaks, are the new developers. This means that the “web for fun” is becoming more serious. On the other side, “enterprise web” is becoming more fun. That’s a good thing.
• Open tecnologies rule. Well, this is not new, but feels good. OpenId, oAuth, microformats…
• Mac rocks! (indeed)
• iPhone rocks too (it does).
• Yahoo! Open Strategy (Y!OS) deserves attention – great focus on open standards.
• I kick ass! Said by Kathy Sierra her self. In fact, we all, at her speech, kicked some ass for at least 5 seconds. She is incredibly smart! She kicks ass.
