| | February 20176CIOReviewFrom programming languages to social networks, the rule of thumb holds good for any identifiable technology entity today: what was once sufficient, no longer is. Application software is not different. Somewhere between the all-static, stand-alone desktop application age, came the dynamic, lightweight web application paradigm.HTML set the ship sailing and with more dynamic elements like JavaScript and Ajax making the developer's job easier, web applications have became the `new big thing' for years now. Add to that, the ease of low-code development environments with their appealing drag-and-drop controls that have considerably narrowed down the SDLC timeline, so that application developers can focus more on simplifying complex data-driven business models. With numbers pointing enterprises' inclination toward BYOD and tele-commuting strategies, there is a newfound impetus to deliver the same workstation that is available inside their facility to employees' smartphones and other devices. The mainstream adoption of HTTP/2 network protocol accelerates this move, with developers exploring all avenues in what this could mean for enterprise mobile application's performance. The internet as a whole has gone for a major upgrade with the HTTP/2's entry and this can mean endless possibilities for enterprises who deliver virtualized computing to their employees' smartphones and other devices.The consumer application faction may have put a yawning distance between enterprise developers and itself, but in 2017, this is about to change. CIOs and CTOs will hear a lot about bringing machine learning and cognitive capabilities into the enterprise. Companies wanting to draw from this pool, know that they should have a highly functional internal workflow so as to prop these new trends. On that grounds, web applications may still rule as the indisputable winner and to that end, CIOReview is presenting its annual special edition on Enterprise Web Applications. We hope this edition will add value to your business strategies.
