Demand dropping for JavaScript skills

Posted by: James Harmon on March 31, 2013

Of course, I'm biased, but I'm always looking for signs that the 2nd wave is ending.  Just a reminder of how I define the waves -

    Wave 1, The PC Age, 1980 - 1995, giant mainframes replaced by more agile desktops
    Wave 2, The Internet Age, 1995 - 2010, connectivity rules the day
    Wave 3, The Mobile Age, 2010 - 2025, all the computer you need right in your pocket

This article seems to be showing the end of the browser age.  It will never go away but it also will never again be the dominant platform.
