Learning Expectation:

With this book I am expecting that I may learn more about WEB 2.0specifically even though it died already. Honestly, I have no idea what’s Web 2.0 is.All I know is that Web 2.0 was the technology used by websites like Facebook,Digg, and what have you. I want to know more about the important things I shouldlearn about Web 2.0 that I may learn how to reach to the market overseas and howto make money with Web 2.0, and as well know how to make strategies for onlinesales. I would like to have an eye-opener with regards to Web 2.0 and by this bookI may say that I will be having enough knowledge about this Web 2.0 that has diedfew days ago.

Book Review:

DotNetNuke [DNN] is a web site that can be used to build projects such ascommercial web sites, portals, and that of vertical applications.Honestly, I haven’t heard of this site at that point where I started to usedInternet. As I am thinking right now based on what I read earlier I can try usingthis site in building my own web site. I am currently handling my own domain nameand basically I haven’t got a time to modify what is into my domain name. I amtrying that one day I would spend time building information and design on thatcertain domain.I keep on finding means on how to define and know more about Web 2.0. Asan Information Systems student, I should know what Web 2.0 is even if its passéalready. And as I was reading this chapter Shaun Walker define it for me. As I wasreading this Web 2.0 book by Bradley I came to know more about Web 2.0.According to Shaun Walker, Web 2.0 is the ability to interact more of it’s to expressopinions to social networking such as Facebook and MySpace.For Shaun, technologies such as AJAX, Flash, and Microsoft Silverlight is onebasis of Web 2.0 this user interaction, user satisfaction are some key point that thistechnology has. For him, interaction between users and web applications give life toWeb 2.0. As far as I can see and feel about the interaction of users to the webapplication, it is then seen that it all comes down to this. Compare to what we havebefore and what we do is just e-mail which can still run on Windows 98 or Windows2000 PCs. Purely text-based internet that you get to have headache easily. In short,compare to the Web we have before we now have a better and more user-friendlylayout and theme. What’s next to Web evolution?As I was thinking, DNN [DotNetNuke] is definitely one reason why we haveWeb 2.0. As a website builder, it will completely give what Shaun defines as for Web2.0. Those user interactions between peers and application are not plugged intoDNN.As I read further, I came to a topic where AJAX was discussed. Then I thinkof AJAX is somehow the tool in constructing Web 2.0. I mean AJAX, gives userinteraction between users. That was what Web 2.0 somehow means. It givesconnect and supplies information that user’s inputted. It is one way or another tool
