JSON-LD : Bridging the Now and Future Webs
The Semantic Web and its related technologies provide an incredibly powerful model for driving the cost of data integration down to nearly zero. So, how do we deal with developers who are overwhelmed, frightened or annoyed by its data models and formats?
Bedrock : Part I - Meaner than MEAN
You get quite a few capabilities with the MEAN stack from its various constituent pieces, however, there is not enough opinion involved. This leads to too many decisions for each new project. Bedrock is a modern, opinionated framework on top of the these technologies that builds upon them and extends them in exciting new ways. It helps you focus on adding value and avoiding unnecessary work. The opinion spans the full stack and including architecture, configuration, design, testing and deployment.
Bedrock : Part III : Linked Data
You get quite a few capabilities with the MEAN stack from its various constituent pieces, however, there is not enough opinion involved. This leads to too many decisions for each new project.

Web Components
Enough with the darn JavaScript frameworks already! There's nothing wrong with a judicious use of this ubiquitous programming language, but it's gotten a little out of hand. What if there were an evolvable future state of declarative and encapsulated user interface elements that was available today in most modern browsers?
