3 Understanding movement to Web 2.0 Web 1.0 = Static Web Sites Access to information Sites become interactive Web 2.0 = Sites are social Users interact with each other Web is a platform A true Web 2.0 application is one that gets better the more people use it. Tim O Reilly

4 What is Web 2.0 All About? Web 1.0 was about connecting computers and making technology more efficient for computers. Web 2.0 is about connecting people, and making technology efficient for people. Web 2.0 changes the way businesses interact with customers Expanding from dozens of markets with millions of people to millions of markets of dozens of people

5 Task: Create a new application that will live in Web 2.0 world Users : want their applications to have a rich user interface that maximizes user productivity. This group wants all their applications to behave like Microsoft's Excel or another client-resident application. They want the application to provide them with instantaneous response time. If they have multiple views of the same data (for example, a table and a graph view) and one changes, they want the other view on display to instantaneously reflect that change. IT: loves the pure server-based delivery model, believes the cost of installing, configuring, and managing clientresident code is too high.

6 Task: Create a new application that will live in Web 2.0 world Technologies exist that enable you to deliver a betterthan-browser user experience without having to manually install code on client machines. Applications built with these technologies are sometimes referred to as Web 2.0 applications. Web 2.0 applications provide the best of both worlds: the cost-effective, server-based deployment model combined with rich user experiences that are comparable to most user experiences with clientresident applications.
