2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences. ” What is Web 2.0?

creating Ajax applications are not technical. The core Ajax technologies are mature, stable, and well understood. Instead, the challenges are for the designers of these applications: to forget what we think we know about the limitations of the Web, and begin to imagine a wider, richer range of possibilities. ” What is AJAX? “ Jesse James Garrett http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php
It’s really several technologies, each flourishing in its own right, coming together in powerful new ways. Ajax incorporates: “ ” • standards-based presentation using XHTML and CSS; • dynamic display and interaction using the DOM; • data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT; • asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest; • and JavaScript binding everything together.

The Fine Art Of Web Design (Peachpit Press, November 2006) “Transcendent CSS makes full use of the most up-to- date CSS techniques and in doing so does not require that we limit our creativity to the limited capabilities of legacy browsers. Transcendent CSS looks to the future by using CSS techniques that are not yet fully supported across every modern browser. The key to Transcendent CSS in modern web design is the understanding that our designs do not have to display exactly the same across all browsers and all platforms. ” What is Transcendent CSS?
The Fine Art Of Web Design (Peachpit Press, November 2006) “ What should be Web 2.0? The web has not reached version 2, it is barely out of Alpha. Only when lightweight, meaningful markup, flexible design presented through CSS and content that is accessible will these technologies achieve their best potential. Web standards and accessibility should not be part of future versions or design iterations, they should take their rightful place at the very center of any product or service considered to be Web 2.0. There is much work still to do and there can be no Web 2.0 without responsibility. ”
