Students will be expected to be aware of the major differences between the early forms of the web, Web 2.0, the semantic web and later developments.
Evolution[edit]
When we discuss how the web is evolving, we are actually looking at the simultaneous growth of different aspects:
- Web browser
- New technologies to render / deliver content in a browser (svg, flash, html, xml, css, javascript)
There is an excellent resource aptly named the evolution of the web which illustrates how these two aspects have grown and changed over the years. Remember we only got started in 1991!
We might imagine a very static (one-way) experience to a more dynamic, interactive (two-way) experience for users on the web.
Web 3.0, the next steps for the web[edit]
If you consider the past growth of the web, you may be able to discern the near-future. We might reasonably expect to see more interactivity, better integration of multi-media and dynamic content. We might reasonably expect to see newer versions of browsers, new specifications, and improvements of languages now commonly used.
Please review the W3C page of standards. You can get a pretty good idea of how the web is evolving. One such evolution is the semantic web, which seeks to attach meaning to a piece of information. Please take the time to understand semantic web.
