I want to know about the future of ArcGIS web development; is it HTML5?
I used to work with ArcObjects and .NET Web ADF so what is the best technology I must follow, especially when I know that Silverlight version updates have been stopped?
So I think that the best technology that must follow .NET in the future is JavaScript with HTML5. Is it true?
Answer
I believe that everything is moving in that direction, mobile browsers only support javascript/html and even in win8 javascript/html is a supported stack for metro-apps. ESRI will have to follow, and they are (arcgis online etc.)
But, if your users still use older versions of IE on the desktop, right now adobe flex or silverlight is a better choice.
On modern browsers with a good framework like jquery or dojo javascript is really powerful. On the server you can still use asp.net, but instead of generating html, you will be generating Json, that is parsed on in browser.
