about AJAX tinyurl.com/29nlsm
âAjax isnât a technology. Itâs really several technologies,
each ďŹourishing 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 Document Object Model;
⢠data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT;
⢠asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest;
⢠and JavaScript binding everything together.â
69. Web 2.0 on Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2
Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second generation of
web-based communities and hosted services which aim
to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users.
Although the term suggests a new version of the World
Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any
technical speciďŹcations, but to changes in the ways
software developers and end-users use the internet.
