Jon Udell Sees a Resurgence in Desktop Apps
Jon Udell takes a look at a cool desktop app for net news gathering and sees in it "we are about to enter a golden age of desktop software." He gets more points (not that he gives a crap about whether I give him points or how many, but, hey, you make do with what you've got, right?) for also mentioning wxPython, which is at the heart of my favorite cross-platform serious development tool, PythonCard.
I think Jon's right. (And I'm sure he's relieved to hear that!) Web services and P2P networking are going to revive desktop applications. The "killer app" that makes this explode is probably already being worked on. Maybe even by me. Who knows?
