  • Web 2.0 ... the future of the Web is here.

    What is Web 2.0?


    Web2.0 is essentially a key phrase coined to describe the rich and responsive web applications (Ajax based) which provides complete democracy to their users.

    It’s about using the Web collaboratively — sharing and mixing up information and resources — so moving on from the first generation of the Web, which was more about using websites just to publish content and sell things.

    A fundamental component of Web 2.0 development is user participation. This typically occurs through users contributing content to Web 2.0 sites and interacting with them at a high level. With Web 2.0 user engagement is paramount.

    User Experience


    Enhanced user experience is also a fundamental component of Web 2.0 where the user has the ability to engage actively in the experience of using and contributing to the web application. User experience can occur through the interface design (enhanced through the use of advanced web technologies such as AJAX) as well as content engagement through participation and contribution. The philosophy is to provide a rich experience for the user through design, media and content attributes.

     

    The Web as a Service


    In relation to software development, Web 2.0 Internet applications are considered to be more of a "service" than a product. This is because web software applications are constantly being updated (through either content updates and/or software functionality updates). Traditional software products are updated in predetermined release cycles (with usually months if not a year or more between updates). This differentiation results in a key Web 2.0 principle: the service of a Web 2.0 site automatically gets better the more people use it because these people are contributing to the content and hence experience.
