You don’t have to look very hard to see that web based applications are becoming the new face of computing. While Google probably offers the largest and most comprehensive selection of web based apps, competitors like Zoho, Xdrive, and Facebook have all churned out impressive products that are competing very strongly with Google in their respective areas. That’s where a new site called AppJet comes in. It makes developing web based apps quicker and easier by allowing you to enter Javascript code right into your browser, store it on AppJet’s servers, and access it from a subdomain (myprogram.appjet.com for example). You can also view the source of any app hosted by AppJet. This gives you the ability to learn by example, improve on other’s code, etc. The significance of what AppJet is offering is pretty obvious. The question is, will any Google-crushing applications be built on their platform, or will it just be a collection of millions of useless “hello world” programs? The truth probably lies somewhere in between, but only time will tell for sure.
