This is a great webinar. But i was kinda hoping that Embarcadero would create a better web development framework based on FireMonkey were you design the UI with FMX controls, effects animations and the framework convert all of that to html, css and js for you. Also the framework should make it possible to create stateless websites not just state-full web apps. The idea for FMX to html5 do already exists

But this is only for Linux we want something similar for windows as well. The way i see it if Embarcadero created a framework like that I believe it will be the leading web development framework on the market.

That looks cool, and I encourage everyone to check out FMXLinux and CrossVCL if they are interested in moving in that direction. Thinfinity Virtual UI is a similar solution for Windows servers.
