Explore the evolution of browser-based applications in this 50-minute conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2012. Discover how Dan North, an Agile Troublemaker and the originator of Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), transitioned from writing traditional web apps to creating feature-rich, visually appealing browser applications for front office trading. Learn about the power of HTML5 and modern web development techniques that enable rapid development and deployment of sophisticated applications without the need for desktop installation. Gain insights into how to leverage this new platform to create functional and responsive browser-based apps, even without extensive design skills. Understand why the browser has become a robust development environment, challenging the notion that it's too slow or provides a poor user experience for complex applications.
