How Does Web 2.0 Work?

 With Web 1.0, when you click on a link, the page had to “reload” and send the requested information (images, text, etc.) to your computer.

 With Web 2.0, that’s no longer necessary — the

Web pages are constantly and instantly refreshed, and there’s no more waiting.

6

 The technology at work here is called Rich Internet

Applications – which gives the user desktop applications via the Internet.

 An example of Rich Internet application is - AJAX

(which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and

XML),

• It changes the way browsers like Internet

Explorer interact with Web pages.

 Web 2.0 also means robust web sites and web applications that have capabilities previously only found on desktop applications.

7

 Think of Web 2.0 as turning the places you visit on the Internet into applications, or lightweight programs, rather than solely information resources.

 Web 2.0 turns the Internet into a giant database with database applications readily available to all of us.
