6 Tech World Changers for 2013
Written by Steve Graham
There are ten’s of things in your life to fret about, so a list of handful things that won’t give you any stress will definitely be a welcome change. As the year 2013 knocks at your door, here are few things from the development world that will make your new year gay and delightful. So, sit back and relax. Here come a few things that will zero your worries:
The Market Share of Apple: Apple’s market share will see a definite rise in 2013. Apple is likely to release an iTurd and its faithful users will definitely give it a buy. Moreover, the laptop market share of Apple is also likely to have a steep increase. Moreover, if experts are to be believed, people will prefer OS X over the traditional Windows OS. This will give Apple’s sale a further boost.
Availability of PaaS Vendors: There weren’t many to be seen around this year, but during the coming year you can expect the situation to improve. Though most small scale PaaS vendors are likely to wrap up, those who have resources enough to support their own cloud applications are likely to sustain in the market. The vendors built on Amazon Web Services are likely to get surfaced. You might also witness a trend of acquisition and valuation which will be based on the quality of services provided including flawless tools, compelling features and easy to adapt for legacy applications. You will also notice severable considerable application releases from large scale vendors.
Surface Tablet by Microsoft: Microsoft’s Surface has just surfaced in the market. It will take time to create a fan base and get popular. If you are planning to ignore Surface in the coming year, then do so without many worries. You can even survive without this tablet in the tablet and application development arena. Maybe by 2014, you would wish to consider this tab for your business but till then, you can surely give it a backstage.
Java Development: Enterprise Java development will see a major turnaround. The year 2013 will mark the release of Java EE 7. The cloud part will be missing from this version of Java and it is likely to have a reduced feature set. Vendors are not likely to get certification by anywhere close to the end of the year.
Typesafe Doing Away: Typesafe is the most preferred platform for Enterprise Java development and known for delivering robust and scalable Scala and Java applications. The year 2013 will see a breakout of Typesafe. With enough funding already in place, Typesafe is expanding its capabilities and is likely to do better in the coming year.
Windows Server 2012: Not many corporate organizations are likely to move onto the Windows 2012 server as early as 2014. The clear proof of this being that most organizations have just shifted to Windows Server 2008. So, you need not worry about upgrading to the 2012 version any sooner.
These major events will prove to be world changers in 2013. Look out and grab on whatever opportunities come your way.
