If you work for one the tech giants, or a SF start up your companies may already be creating applications in the cloud. As a web developer not on the bleeding edge this may mean something different. This will most likely serve as an option in the future for hosting larger applications, but I don’t think it will wipe out traditional hosting any time soon, just because I believe many companies would be hesitant to put their data out in a “cloud”. As a developer on the ground level I think we will start to see the cloud producing content delivery services, and scalable web services that are reliable and USABLE. Once we have useful services, they can be integrated into our applications without the risk many services have today. We may even see new languages and programming styles emerge to fit the paradigm, and that will filter back into main stream development. So I probably won’t be programming in “C flat++” or “Anaconda”, or “IronSaphire” any time soon, but we may see the concepts and ideas filter back to plain old boring VB, and C#. I believe we will also see a move away from efficient nit picking in development. If you start working in an environment where processor and ram are cheap and on demand, you probably won’t want to spend three days optimizing a single sort procedure, becuase it would not yeild any real ROI, and infact probably the opposite.
