So with 2008 right around the corner, it is time to reflect on what has happened in 2007, and what we are looking forward to in 2008. I have watched as frameworks, javascript (ajax) and new versions of a variety of different programming languages picked up steam this year, but what are you hopeful for in 2008 in regards to developing new applications. Are you waiting for PHP 5 to build up more of a following, a new framework to make your development process faster, and more efficient, or a new version of an application that will finally have all the features you have been waiting for?

Personally, I am looking forward to WordPress 2.4, with its new administration panel design, ajax to start looking a bit old, and used in better ways, and more lightweight but powerful applications. If anyone knows of a more modern and up to date piece of software like Crimson Editor, please let me know.

I would love to hear what you are most looking forward to and why, as we finish up what was an amazing 2007.
