What is an open web?
Posted by: | CommentsThe following challenge was on my Firefox homepage today:
Creating an open web is at the heart of the Mozilla project. And you’re a part of that. As one of thousands of people in the project, you have worked tirelessly to keep the Internet open, participatory and full of life.

I’ve been going over some articles I wrote over the years and have resurrected a few for Just Enough Technology. They are interesting in that the ideas are (usually) still valid and relevant in today’s world. This article was the basis of my focus on .Net over the last 7 or 8 years. I’ve created significant applications in both Java and .Net, and I am a great believer in choosing the right technology for the job. That could be Java or .Net or something else.
