Web 2.0 |

Web 2.0. The term was coined to indicate how current day
start-ups are different from those in 1999-2000. It
includes elements of Viral Marketing, Mash-ups,
Third-party Hosting Infrastructure, RSS, Blogs, Web
Scraping for Information etc. Most importantly it
includes interactive web pages delivered using RIA (Rich
Internet Apps) platforms. Web apps are coming closer and
closer to desktop apps. Also, presentations tend to be
simple, straightforward and use lighter/pastel colors.
RIA in its oldest form was Java Applets. Tim Berners Lee
had been working with CURL for sometime as well. Then
came Google's Mail, Suggestions and a whole bunch of
apps which changed the paradigm. Suddenly AJAX
(Asynchronous Javascript And XML) was prime-time. Folks
built elaborate environments around Javascript. Now we
even have "patterns" designed specifically for AJAX.
These include
Submission Throttling, AJAX Stubs, JSON Message, Call Tracking,
Distributed Events, Pseudo-Threading and
Cross-Browser Components. We have also had advent of "aggregators of
aggregators" who made a viable business model using AJAX
and web-scraping to provide better user experience and
wider choice across "aggregators". These include Kayak
and Comparison Shopping sites. Suddenly the look and
feel of the web had been transformed.
If you have a legacy web application using vanilla HTML,
it could be high-time you re-engineered it to add value.
After web apps have become more like database apps, so
why have HTML, which is equivalent of dumb-green-screens
in the database apps world.
We have experience of re-engineering apps from "legacy
web" to Web 2.0. We work with AJAX, JSON, XML, Web
Services (SOAP and REST), Ruby, Prototype Framework, Web
Scraping Robots, Aggregations ... the whole nine yards.
Why settle for anything less?

demos to see what we mean.
