In 1993, the concept of delivering software over the Internet that could then run in a web browser on any machine running on any operating system was considered bleeding edge. But as any computer user knows, that practice has been commonplace for years now.
When JavaScript client-side web application frameworks like AngularJS, Backbone.js, and Ember.js first appeared, they were considered too cutting edge for most serious software projects. As they matured, however, software architects and developers saw great potential in these frameworks. Applications built with JavaScript client-side frameworks exist and run entirely on the user’s hardware, much like conventional thick-client applications. Applications written using these frameworks are much faster than conventional web applications and provide a much better user experience.
