jQuery and what other technologies we will use in 2011

Call me crazy but our next prototype will not be YUI based but jQuery. I thought they are not ready for RIA but things went fast since the last time i checked them. A lot of useful grids as plugins and they even started a jQuery-UI grid. Furthermore with wijmo there is even a commercial components company with some nice widgets on the market. More choice is good. So whats our status? We just finished our own product theme created by their excellent ThemeRoller app and we created the BorderLayout of our admin console. Its looks quite nice but has no functionality yet.

But we will use some other interessting things in 2011 which we have not used before, like:

• versioning with git (i really want to push disconnected work more and more)
• jQuery (as mentioned before - we used is before but on very low scale)
• Spring-MVC (we have used a lot of other web frameworks so far but not Spring's variant)
• IP-Centrex. Basically Asterisk in the cloud. Works very well so far. No more telephony hardware in the house besides some VoiP phones of course
• trying to reduce SOAP services in our product and push REST even more
• WebSockets. Thats something i really want to push forward in our app
• finishing our android app (but we are missing resources for that project)

Another big thing is my current wait more for the next coming MacBook Pro. ;-) I really need a new one but i dont want to buy the current one. I want something braaaaand new.
