Why I hate WEB?

This blog is actually a continuation of my previous blog “The end is near…” which I talking about why should and shouldn’t have to steer the wheel to web based apps.

This is my personal comparisons from the Windows based application versus web based applications and vice-versa.

  1. Desktop Applications is more easier to design than web apps.
  2. Desktop Applications is more flexible because it can layer your designs although web has its floating CSS thing they have whatever it is….
  3. Desktop Applications is “Event-Friendly Fire” meaning it is much more easy to manipulate events than POST/AJAX POST events whatever again they called in the web apps!
  4. Debugging in the web is so Horrible!!!. You can’t even debug walk through and debug step up, no JIT (Just In Time) Debugger. Web programmers rely only to the errors displayed or generated AFTER the the actual error itself was been executed. When debugging a Desktop app you can “pre-execute or sneak peak” your variable values before the actual event is fired therefore you can manipulate your codes WHILE RUNNING  (Fix and Continue method) and again reducing programmers time . As all we know, Web programmers is much stressfull debugging their programs because they don’t see the actual position of the execution inside their program and therefore they got problems tracing the problem when an error triggered (your not GOD to be perfect!).
  5. Cross Browser Incompatibility issues on the web apps makes their design goes mad. Desktop app ensures you have no problem after the compilation (possible errors is just only your logic codes, LOL).
  6. Desktop Applications is much better to perform than web (come on wait till I get finish). Why?
    • All web apps (I mean All!) reside and runs only on a single desktop application thing called a Browser. Browser is a powerfuly program yet it still has limitation. One of its limitation is the flexibility to use all available resources from the client PC’s, RAM is limited therefore you can’t excel you app even the PC has a 2gb capacity on it, you can’t do Multi-Threading in the web (your browser can do but your HTML can’t) and therefore it just a waste the powerfullness of the clients CPU. And lastly, you can’t make a user rich graphics experience in the web (you can only do that by making a flash or silverlight embedded on your page but still limited to browser capability not to mention the bandwidth usage) so again you just wasted the client GPU.
  7. And the last thing why i don’t like web is-  I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.wahahahaha…..

Now, I am not biased (yeah right) so I will give my personal views why should I go to the web app.

  1. Web apps is PLATFORM Independent, meaning no O.S compatibility issues period.
  2. Web apps has no client deployment., meaning no more local installation period.
  3. Web apps has no local configuration to made prior to his operation, meaning you don’t have to configure database connections to the server, no more registry manipulations and etc before operating the program itself. Web apps is just sitting there always waiting to use him. Period.
  4. Web apps has more marketing than desktop apps, meaning there is more possibility that you become famous because everybody can see your work around the world than letting them to install your program first before seeing your work (lol, only a dumb ass will do this). Period.
  5. Web apps according to others is more secured than desktop apps, I must admit that they are correct!.Period.
  6. Web apps is much PROFITABLE today than desktop apps.  Again I admit they are correct. You can earn now more money doing something like porn sites or writing  blogs like this than making desktop based ERP’s.Period.
  7. And the last thing. Web apps has more JOBS!.Period.

Now I am finish telling my views from both side, can you tell me your views about desktop apps and web apps. Please I will allow you to make comment about the write-ups above but please please please… do not try to insult me, judged me,comments that is not or out of the topic or just simply Kick My Ass!Thanks. :)

  1. Great post! But, you really shouldn’t, web app let me read it. Cheers …

  2. I feel the same way.

    They always say that developing a web application is more complicated that requires more brain activity than that of a stand-alone application, I do not believe it.

    Many webdevs today use platforms made by other people so I guess they are getting better with integration.

    I also do simple web applications using ASP and ASP.Net and I think most of the time webdevs are more concerned with fixing browser bugs, cross browser compatibilities, designs, validations and merging of different web technologies.

  3. Comment on #2: Actually, it’s the other way around. Using table-less css, you can manipulate the whole layout of your website without even touching the main code. This is evident on friendster and myspace where users can modify their pages freely by just using css. They can even make their whole webpage in flash without even touching the source code.

    Comment on #3: ASP.NET is a event-driven web application.

    Comment on #4: Developing ASP.NET using Visual Studio or J2EE using eclipse is like developing a desktop apps. it is complete with all debugging options (trace, watch, break) like the usual desktop development.
