Web 2.0: Principles and Best Practices

Today the business world is undergoing a significant transformation thanks to a set of technologies collectively known as "Web 2.0." Web 2.0 describes a set of next-generation Internet technologies. These protocols and tools make it easier to create online applications that behave dynamically, much like traditional PC-based software. Like all emerging technologies, Web 2.0 is difficult to define with any degree of accuracy. But Web 2.0 clearly represents a marked shift in the way information is created, shared, stored, distributed, and manipulated. Web 2.0 pushes computing power off the desktop and onto the Internet, which means less time and money spent on PC software administration. Web 2.0 is not a new technology or a new set of rules. Web 2.0 is an idea.
