Editor's Notes

  • #7 Steve takes over
  • #10 Setting the stage: the Sony Ericsson K800i was brand new in 2006, and was c|net’s #1 phone of the year. 3MP camera 2.0” screen 64MB internal memory WAP 2.0 browser
  • #11 Setting the stage: apple.com in 2006. A few things of note: Still Aqua, “lickable” UI, but transitioning to brushed metal The Mac line had just transitioned to Intel chips The iPod Hi-Fi was discontinued in 2007 due to poor sales RSS headlines – Apple was pushing this new thing hard
  • #12 Setting the stage: microsoft.com in 2006. VS 2005 was new IE was still very much alive – IE7 was released with Vista and XP service packs Windows Mobile had a 37% marketshare in the US (per Gartner)
  • #13 Setting the stage: Amazon.com in 2006 Still an old-fashioned, store-based structure EC2 was announced in August 2006, beta Alexa wasn’t a command for an Echo – it was still based on alexa.com, a ranking engine Amazon had acquired
  • #14  High degree of interactivity on page (and AJAX!) Wikis, folksonomy were growing Started to hint of design beyond the browser (which matters in 2016 & 2026) Communities were a big push APIs started to open up services (GMaps, flickr)
  • #15  MySpace bought by News Corp. Yahoo! bought flickr & delicious
  • #17 Flickr, delicious, folksonomies….
  • #19 MS Collaboration limited to SharePoint 2003, very very limited beginnings
  • #20 Area sites ruled the landscape
  • #21 Had to hack SP to have MEANINGFUL metadata, difficult to get people to put data into the system without coding
  • #22 2007 was the MAJOR beginning of where we are now for development.
  • #23 C#, Visual Basic, etc. Had to toss this as platforms evolved
  • #25 Setting the stage: the iPhone 6s/6s plus. 16% marketshare globally, 33.6% in US. Samsung Galaxy still leads the pack for Android devices. (S7 coming out late February, so numbers TBD).
  • #26 Setting the stage: Facebook is the social platform. Netflix is the streaming service. Amazon is the store.
  • #27 Setting the stage: more technology in the “real world”. Drones! Fitness trackers! Smart water bottles (what!)
  • #32 Foundational tech, sql, sp, back end ways data is stored and called Content (input) determines how the backend comes together with consuming and collaboration Delivery Mechanisms change- RSS, CQWP, CSWP, Search,
  • #33 Single ten global, lets international corp determine storage location, without needing to license and have different tenants CSOM allows for so many connections and custom development options and automation
  • #34 Starting with mobile in mind, cutting development that will not translate Full functionality in mobile, not restricted experience Competition with mobile not going away, bootstrap, other methods of responsive without being specific to tech
  • #36 Setting the stage: ubiquitous technology. Self-driving, fully connected cars (IDEO idea/concept shown here). Shoes (Under Armour Gemini 2 – you can buy these). Bathroom mirror (Android DIY job – exists today.) This will continue.
  • #37 Google Reader launched in 2005
  • #38 Samsung licensing agreement madness ( in 2016) – listening always
  • #39 Google Reader launched in 2005
  • #40 Cool pictures about the future right? The future of development… still code.
  • #41 These amazing designs, voice assist, augmented reality, etc. We start with content in mind, transactional data, metadata, search, etc. Content becomes more important. The underlying foundation will still need to be there. Delivery methods will be the change.
  • #42 Starting in 2007, what features have been added to new releases, collaboration and content management lead, but then mobile!
  • #43 This really illustrates the separation between content, collaboration and mobile Point out the cloud difference (esp with external connections)
  • #44 How to apply these stats to future planning Highlighting mobile and content Moving from a tiered release…
  • #45 Now we’re going from phased release, to continual, its going to be a faster shot to the top
  • #48 Biff + manure in BTTF 1. If you’re not paying attention…
