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?
