Future of Web-Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is a BUZZ word these days in web development describing the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites (Orkut, Facebook), wikis (Wikipedia), blogs etc. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web.

Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Web 2.0 websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information. They can build on the interactive facilities of "Web 1.0" to provide "Network as platform" computing e.g. Google, Wikipedia, allowing users to run software-applications entirely through a browser.

The idea of "Web 2.0" can also relate to a transition of some websites from isolated information silos to interlinked computing platforms that function like locally-available software in the perception of the user. Web 2.0 also includes a social element where users generate and distribute content, often with freedom to share and re-use. This can result in a rise in the economic value of the web to businesses, as users can perform more activities online.

If someone wants to look out for a career in Web 2.0 technologies then they need to know the technologies like Adobe Flash, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Cold Fusion and Adobe Flex. NIIT provides specialized training on all these technologies. The candidate can look out for a promising career in RIA (Rich Internet Application) development. The candidate needs to have pre requisite of OOPS concepts.

So today whether someone is a student who is new to web publishing or an advanced professional, s/he can move rapidly from information architecture to interactive graphics to the implementation and management of dynamic, data-driven web portals. The only thing s/he requires is the in-depth knowledge of tools and technologies which facilitates RIA development.
