I don't think there's going to be one Next Big Thing. Java's arrival was a Next Big
Thing, and though it's unlikely to be the Last Next Big Thing, the rapid rise of Java
was a special event, a coincidence of timing that could only happen by riding in the
wake of the first introduction of the Internet and the World Wide Web. But I think
there's going to be a lot of Next Little Things and we're all free to combine a few of
those into our own personal Next Big Thing.
Preface
[ 6 ]
I think Tapestry is destined to be one of the key Next Little Things, one that's going
to really change how we all do our jobs. Many a Next Thing is an experiment waiting
to be proved valid. Tapestry went through that stage nearly eight years ago, but now
benefits from all those years of experience: not just my personal involvement, but the
experience of the rest of the Tapestry developers, and the experience of the Tapestry
user community. It's got a proven track record for its basic concepts, its governing
principles, and its overall approach, even as the code base has been revitalized
(ok, rewritten) for Tapestry 5.
But code, design, architecture ... that's all technology, and the best technology in the
universe doesn't guarantee a win.
