Tony Parisi, CTO at Large, at O'Reilly Velocity Conference 2013, with John Furrier and Jeff Frick
Asked about the current state of the web, Parisi said "I give the web an A for effort on user experience," but execution still was kind of spotty in some areas. "All the work being done in performance, it's really about delivering responsive user experiences," he added.
Setting the stage for new standards
The UI side "has come a long way. You can build pretty much anything in HTML5 and CSS" Parisi said. However, when it comes to video and 3D, "it's still coming along," with quite a lot of improvements still needed for the performance of interactive 3D applications.
Asked what his views on HTML5 were, Parisi stated that "there have been some amazing demonstrations of pure HTML5 mobile apps that have truly native performance. You can do these amazing user experiences" that people said wouldn't be possible on the web, even less so on mobile. What HTML5 needs to be properly leveraged is real professionals.
Parisi said he was a supporter of Node.js. "I have become a JavaScript acolyte in the past few years.: and Node.js "made it very easy to program responsive applications: that are very scalable, event driven, easy to host in the cloud. This has ben "another area where people had to pioneer."
Going mobile with web experiences + beyond
Asked about augmented reality and Google Glass, Parisi said that his work currently involves working with WebGL which allows to "create an incredibly rich experience in a web browser or on a tablet" without augmented reality devices. "It's pretty exciting what's going on with Glass. It sure seems like it's going to take a little while to become product quality."
Web and mobile represent "a sort of a giant family." Parisi said. Desktop browsers innovate, but on the mobile side, developers are innovating towards use cases, user paradigm, app stores. There is "a human factor orientation born on mobile," and HTML5 is the next step in a web-mobile convergence. "Desktop browsers influence mobile" and the other way around.
Asked what he was looking for at Velocity, Parisi mentioned HTML and CSS frameworks, performance for rich media, convergence was a big point of interest, along with solutions to creating a web app that worked while delivering rich media. Overlal, there were "interesting developments going on at Velocity."
As "all these enterprises are going into the cloud, older proprietary software systems getting upgraded,: and there was a lot of app development, to do all that effectively, there was a need for the technologies that Velocity talked about.
Where future trends are concerned, Parisi warned: "We've got to remember that everyone on the planet is going to have multiple computers and devices. We're all going be connected all the time with social media."
