HTML5 Enterprise Application Development

Enterprise application development over the decades has been a pendulum swinging back and forth between terminal and mainframe, between client and server. In the 1980s, business logic was largely pushed to the server by "dumb terminals" or "thin clients" which did very little except act as a middleman between the user and the server. Beginning in the 1990s, logic started to swing to the client with "fat clients" bearing the processing burden. With the introduction of the World Wide Web in 1991, a new breed of thin client emerged. The pendulum swung once again. Or did it? The shift between client and server has largely been driven by cost and power. Early on, investment was made in powerful, costly servers. As PCs became more powerful in terms of memory and processing ability, as well as lower in cost, it became possible to build applications that could be distributed more easily, allow for offline capabilities, and best of all require less powerful (and less costly) server infrastructures. However, maintaining, upgrading, and deploying "fat clients" created a new burden.
