Wharton School at UPenn on the Merging of Web and Desktop Technologies

Posted At : November 1, 2007 3:53 PM | Posted By : Brian
Related Categories: Technology, Web development, AIR

Saw this on Digg today: it's an article by several members of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania that talks about the emergence of technologies geared towards merging the Web and the desktop. They give an overview of the recent developments: Adobe AIR, Google Gears, Silverlight, Prism, etc.

If you're not familiar with this latest trend, the article is definitely a good read:
