Future of Web Apps

We just arrived back from the FOWA in Londen.
2 days without internet, tuesday we decided to buy internet from BTopenzone, expensive and pretty worthless. But we managed!
The FOWA was well set up, a big lounge and a large presentation room.
The first day started with an interesting presentation from Michael Arrington, he talked about new ventures, how to start your own and the highlighted some interesting developments like Adobe Apollo. Apollo is a new platform where designers and developers can create outside the browser boundaries. So you can make desktop applications, even the possibillity to use them on and offline.
Later there was a presentation from Mark Anders from Adobe. Unfortunately he did not show very much about the upcoming Apollo project. On the onther hand he showed some nice things about the possibilities of Flex and the new Flash9. The contribution of Digg was also an interesting one.
There were many designers and developers at the event, we had some nice conversations about the way the web is evolving. And we got to show Adobe, Aol and Chris from microsoft and we got a "wow" effect...!
It was fun, unfortunately the upcoming futureofwebdesign is sold out!
