Happy new year to everyone. 2008 is finally here.
Looking back at 2007, it was definitely an interesting and exciting year. Here are a few highlights (the ones i can remember at least)
- Release of Mac OSX Leopard
- Adobe AIR
- Adobe Flex Chart 2
- Aptana Reached v.1.0
- jQuery and Prototype both released its own official book
- Gmail got a total face lift on the core
- Google released many new applications (too many to list)
- Microsoft SilverLight
- IE8 was finally announced
Now 2008 is here, it’s going to be another interesting year again. Here are the stuff that are on my watch list (besides BeiJin Olympics - WooHoo):
- Internet Explorer 8 - some sort of beta and crossing my fingers that it will be released
- Firefox 3
- HTML 5 - not that i’m over predicting, but looking at the WebKit’s advanced movements on HTML 5 implementation, we might just have a chance of having it here earlier.
- Google Knol - yes, the wiki
- Other Google applications
- Adobe AIR - hopefully it gets out of beta
- SilverLight - not a fan, but interesting to see how it will act this year
- ECMAScript 4
- WebKit
Okay, i just figured the list can go on and on and i can possibility put everything here, which is what makes 2008 interesting.
I’m going to take this chance to thank everyone who has read my blog in 2007. Although I have been doing a pretty lousy job of keep it updating everyday, but I truly thank everyone whether you were just passing by, bookmarked it, or left a comment. Let’s all have a happy 2008. Cheers everyone!
