Web 2.0 has come with a host of technological developments;
web developers are now required to develop more interactive web sites, with
added focus on end user experience.
Earlier in the days of web 1.0, web developers just had
to add content to the pages, publish the pages to the web server and monitor
the web sites. Updates to the web site were done only by the author and others
were just spectators to the page, developers designed admin sections in the
sites, which were used by the authors and administrator to manage the content
of the web sites.
Web 2.0 has changes this completely, sites based on web
2.0 are more interactive, they should be developed in such a way that the end
users interact more with the publisher and other users. End users should be allowed
to post comments on the content, edit the content, publish their own content, change
the design and layout of the pages, etc.
Yes, looks like the developers have to do a lot more to
make the web sites web 2.0 compliant, but they are not left alone, technology
has lent a helping hand to the developers in developing web 2.0 compliant web
pages. There are a host of new technology developments which help the web
developers in developing web 2.0 sites.
Some of the key enhancements in web 2.0 from the web developer’s
perspective are
RSS – Really Simple Syndication
