Rich Client Apps. Javascript. HTML5. CSS3. MVC. AJAX. Phase inversion. CORS. DOM storage. Location API. Web Sockets. Spine. Backbone. Ember. Angular. CoffeeScript. Dart. Jasmine. Casper. Wait, what?

Let's just say that the web browser somehow became the #1 application platform And suddenly, a few sprinkles of jQuery magic and AJAX goodness might not be enough anymore.

"The Single Page App"...

…is a term describing the way of building modern web applications by utilizing Javascript and XmlHttpRequest to create rich interactions that are much closer to native apps in both look and feel than classic web apps.

…is a series of books currently in the making by me, Jan Krutisch: web developer for life, technical writer and conference speaker and maker of things.

Seriously. I have no idea how "Phase Inversion" ended up on that list. Ask my editor. Wait, I don't have an editor. Wait, I should not have told you that I don't have an editor. Well, actually, I do have an editor, but it's a middle-aged penguin living at the edge of the arktis and he only has internet access twice a month. Let's just say it's not working out so great. I should have been more cautious when signing that 10-year contract. Oh well. That's probably why I became a web developer and not a lawyer.
