How are web 2.0 applications developed?

[Jeff]

Hey

I was surfing the web after info about ajax/web2.0, and came across this
link:
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0470087889.html
That book says you/I will learn how web 2.0 applications are developed..

Isn't developing web 2.0 applications the same as any other web
application... or what?.. if developing for web 2.0 has a different approach
than please provide me with a link so I can read about it.. I don't want to
buy that book... I like the books of wrox, it's just that I want to save
money

any suggestions?

Again: the phrase "web 2.0" is a load of marketing hoopla. But seeing as
you are not prepared to accept that, spend the money and get jiggy with
the O'Reilly invented buzz speak.

Web 2 is a rather fuzzy concept of what the Web will look like in the
future
<http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html>.

However Ajax, which will probably be the foundation of that future,
has been around for several years. If your current applications' forms
have a "Submit" button it will change the way you write them. IBM have
an excellent tutorial here

Isn't developing web 2.0 applications the same as any other web
application... or what?

Web 2.0 is a buzzword, so (as others have said) there's no one single
method for developing web 2.0 applications, nor indeed a solid definition
of what a web 2.0 application is.

But certainly certain development methodologies are often *associated*
with web 2.0. Look into "Agile development" (release early and release
often). Certain technologies are very fashionable in web 2.0: AJAX is
very popular, so is JSON; the use of emerging scripting languages like
Ruby and Python is common too. Also, Google for "prototype.js" and
"script.aculo.us".

A lime green logo and a light grey diagonally stripey background are
essentials.
