Web 2.0 Application Development NJ
What is it?
You’ve probably heard the phrase "Web 2.0". You may’ve even read some of the various definitions of it. And Web 2.0 does appear to mean different things to different people, so you would be forgiven for still feeling confused about the term. Here are some of the definitions of Web 2.0 floating about:Web 2.0
- the web as platform
- the underlying philosophy of relinquishing control
- glocalization ("making global information available to local social contexts and giving people the flexibility to find, organize, share and create information in a locally meaningful fashion that is globally accessible")
- an attitude not a technology
- when data, interface and metadata no longer need to go hand in hand
- action-at-a-distance interactions and ad hoc integration
- power and control via APIs
- giving up control and setting the data free
Web 2.0 is social, it’s open (or at least it should be), it’s letting go of control over your data; it’s mixing the global with the local. Web 2.0 is about new interfaces - new ways of searching and accessing Web content. And last but not least, Web 2.0 is a platform - and not just for developers to create web applications like Gmail and Flickr. The Web is a platform to build on for educators, media, politics, and community, for virtually everyone in fact! Web 2.0 is all of the above things - don’t let anyone tell you it’s one or the other definition.
Dotcomweavers specializes in all the technologies encompassed by Web 2.0 including, but are by no means limited to, blogs, tags, RSS, social bookmarking, and AJAX. Our Web 2.0 philosophy focuses on the idea that the people who consume media, access the Internet, and use the Web shouldn't passively absorb what's available -- rather, they should be active contributors, helping customize media and technology for their own purposes, as well as those of their communities. If you’re a small business wondering how to capitalize on the Web 2.0 wave, we can help you implement the full range of features, including the following
Blogs:
Blogs are a great example of how emerging voices are not only being heard but amplified. By reading and discussing each other's posts, bloggers form a massive network that is able to exert pressure on national media and, increasingly, on policy makers as well. Blog postings, typically updated daily, can include images, photos, links, video, audio, or simple text. The postings are archived by date and sometimes by category or by author. Permanent links, or "permalinks," allow other bloggers and Web site owners to link directly to a specific post on your blog and encourage inter-blog dialog.RSS:
Imagine having the latest headlines and updates from your favorite Web sites delivered to your desktop without even having to open your Web browser or visit any Web sites. Better yet, imagine having the latest information from your Web site delivered to your supporters and constituents without having to send an e-mail or a newsletter. With Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, this is easy to do -- and it won't cost you a thing.Tagging & Social Bookmarking:
If you have trouble finding good information on the Internet, you're not alone. Portals and publications don't always classify information in the same way their readers would.But what if you could tag any information you put on the Internet -- or any information that you find on the Internet -- with simple keywords, so that you could find it again? And what if you could search for information that other people had tagged with the same keyword? That's where tagging comes in handy.
Tags can help you organize and find URLs (with the help of social bookmarking tools like del.icio.us), photos (with applications like flickr), and ideas or projects. Tags can also be a great way to draw attention to your posts and bring others to your blog or Web site.
Widgets and AJAX Applications:
The centerpiece of the Web 2.0 transformation is AJAX, a group of Web page coding technologies that allows pages to respond to a user's input without processing or reloading the page.Specifically, AJAX (an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML ) is a term that refers to JavaScript, XML, HTML, and CSS used in conjunction to develop interactive Web applications. AJAX does not change the Web itself, but rather how programmers present the data to users.
With traditional Web applications, when a user clicks something, the action triggers a request to a Web server, which renders the page in the user's browser. The user must then wait for the page to load while an hourglass or a blank Web page indicates that the request is being processed. Each action a user performs results in lag time. In an AJAX-driven Web application, when a user performs an action -- say, clicking a map -- the results are immediate, so there's virtually no waiting time.
So what does Web 2.0 mean to you? Simply put, Web 2.0 is a perceived transition of the web to web applications. Web 2.0 is the next generation of technology solutions where interactive content is the norm. Dotcomweavers will help you with Web 2.0 and how your business can thrive online. We will demystify the power of Web 2.0 technologies for you, the key components of the new web are said to include: the web as a platform, collaboration, and syndication.
Individuals and organizations alike are finding new and increasingly effective ways of connecting through Web 2.0 technology. This is the human side of this technical transformation.Even the smallest organization has a story to share and voices to amplify. Web 2.0 can help you be heard. This new Web of connections is already allowing businesses worldwide to build movements for social, environmental, economic, and political change. Don't let your movement leave you behind.
