Emerging Techniques Every Web Developer Should Know – woorkup.com

A great look at some of the emerging techniques on the web - some of which are enabled by HTML5 such as offline application storage, others such as oAuth and oEmbed which represent standards being developed by developers, for developers.
Its fairly easy to really start gushing when compiling a list like this, but what I like is that it is feasible to begin implementing these techniques right now. We are starting to see HTML5 support in Webkit and Mozilla based browsers, and it is really a serious option especially when creating mobile web applications. oAuth is becoming a de facto authentication standard, and oEmbed is really starting to generate traction with YouTube implementing it and Wordpress 2.9 consuming.
Exciting times ahead!
