Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
When you read various magazines, you often see references
to what is “in” and what is “out”. I spent a few minutes thinking about some of
the things I thought were “out”, “five minutes ago”, and “in”. I’ve listed a few
below. The things that are “so five minute ago, are listed as ‘ago’.
in – AJAX
ago – DHTML
out – Applets
in – C#
ago – java
out – ISAPI or Visual Baisc
in – PS3
ago – Xbox 360
out – Game Cube
in – multi-threading
ago – 64-bit computing
out – thunking
in – multi-core
ago – 64-bit (single-core)
out –
32-bit single-core
in – TDD
ago – Agile/Extreme
out – Waterfall
in – Ubuntu
ago – Red Hat
out – Unix
in – right-sourcing
ago – out-sourcing
out – do-it-yourself
in – term: SAAS
ago – term: SOA
out – term: web service
in – free tools
ago – time-bombed full version
trials
out – trial versions
in – WCF
ago – Remoting
out – basic COM
This was a fun exercise. If you disagree with some of my
items (and I’m sure there will some disagreements), feel free to let me know via
email or on the discussion forum. I’ve created a thread so you can post your own items:
