3) Rapid Application Development
(RAD)
Below you will find three different areas that talk about this subject; server,
framework and software company. I felt this would give a better feel for
the reality of the RAD market.
Without discussing the three areas as a hole the reality will always be skewed
toward Microsoft because of the raw numbers of PC’s in the world used by
business and home. My home and business uses pc’s, windows servers and
many server technologies create by Microsoft. (personal disclaimer)
We are concentrating on, ASP, PHP and ColdFusion in this document. I
am not going into Jscript, Java, Soap, Ajax or many other buzz words you may
have heard or. They are used in PHP and ColdFusion as add-ons to enhance
the user experience. For example we are deploying Ajax, jscript and java
elements in the popp.com intranet and extranet applications. |

6) Web Technology
company’s
market share based on usage and saturation
Listed are the big 3. They
are the technologies that are used most prominently
on the web today.
Microsoft: 35.56% (based
on server saturation because Microsoft technologies will
only run on a windows platform) Platforms are ASP,
office web and other MS Specific software that runs on
.net and windows platform exulsivly.
Adobe: 98% platforms include:
Flash, PDF, ColdFusion, Flex, Shockwave, Dreamweaver and
many others. Adobe products run in all browsers and
on all web server technologies.
PHP: This is an open source
product developed by a loose cooperative of programmers
which make an intelligent estimate impossible. |
