From Mosaic to Modern: The Evolution of Web App Architectures

Originally aired:

About the Session

The introduction of the NCSA Mosaic browser in 1993 marked the inception of the modern web. What began as a platform for static hypertext documents rapidly evolved, embracing dynamic content, interactive functionality, and eventually the extensive capabilities of today's rich web applications. In this session, we will:

  • Explore the pivotal shifts in web application architectures from the early 1990s to the present.
  • Highlight the successful strategies, acknowledge the missteps, and identify the driving factors behind each architectural choice.
  • Offer insights into the repeated patterns and lessons learned from history.

With a keen understanding of the past, attendees will be better poised to approach future web development challenges with clarity and confidence. Join this journey through time to gain a deeper appreciation of the web's evolution and prepare for what lies ahead.
