I’m probably a bit late blogging about the whole web 2.0 ‘phenomenon/hype’ but thought, hey its my blog I can do what the hell I want! So what’s web 2.0? Well from what I’ve seen its basically AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and pages built to use them. AJAX basically allows content within a page to be dynamically changed, now this isn’t anything new, anyone can show and hide DIV’s and layers to make it seem like the page is doing something but AJAX allows the one webpage to send off requests to server side scripts, who then send the reply back and load it into the original page without any refreshing or reloading. Basically using this sort of method you could build a site with as much content as wikipedia.org that only had one page.
