This week, we went through a new topic which is about Web Applications. A web application is an application that is accessed over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. Internet Chatting, video conferencing, emails, online editing are some of the web applications we use in our daily basis. We also had a case study: the Web 2:0 and Web 1:0. Web 2:0 is "the popular term for advances Internet Technology and applications including blogs, wikis, Really simple Syndication (RSS) and social bookmarking." (Course Material). Web 2.0 includes social networking sites, video sharing sites, blogs and online communities. Web 2.0 is a change in how we use the Internet. It isn’t simply a place to retrieve information anymore; it is a place to interact and communicate with others. We also went through the characteristics and components of Web 1:0 and Web 3:0.
Knowing this has made me realize the importance of web applications in our daily life, particularly Web 2:0. The development of Web 2.0 has significantly changed how people view and use the Web in both a personal and a business sense. If a company wants to succeed in today’s high-tech environment, it is key that it is familiar with the concept of Web 2.0 and how it can best be applied to its Web presence. We then learn about Web information which is an information system using WWW as part of the deployment and implementation technology. We finally discussed about Google applications.
At the end, we were asked to develop a website by using sites Google. It's my first time to create a website but I find it exciting to learn all these tools because these skills can be useful to me today and tomorrow in our daily life.
