Well, I finally got off my arse and got this project done. I have been sitting on it for a little while, mainly because I “lost” the information in the office (if you know me, then you know what I mean).

Ok, so I am really just picking up on this Web 2.0 thing. I probably should have looked at it a long time ago since it is kinda my job to know these things. What really sparked my interest to find out more was the whole AJAX concept and how I could use it to better my photo gallery.

AJAX has been around for quite some time now but sits in the passenger seat, maybe even in the back, to what Web 2.0 is trying to should accomplish.

Here is one of many articles I have found, and yes READ, about W2 take a look.

This morning Mikull wrote up a post concerning Web 2.0. I have heard about it but, up until now, not really paid to much attention to it. Needless to say Mike has a point and this “new technology” will make it better for everyone in the long run.

I keep getting questions like this, so I decided to answer it in the
newsletter.

Q: “You mention many times that response time is important, and there are
tons of tools to measure response time, but what is an acceptable web
based application’s response time? What is a user’s tolerance, not for a
shopping experience, but for an interactive application?”

I have been following this project for a little while now and it seems pretty kewl. Anyway, Eric Meyer has come up with this great tool to show presentations that is completely xhtml compliant. Here is the excerpt from his site:

S5 is a slide show format based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible. Anyone with even a smidgen of familiarity with HTML or XHTML can look at the markup and figure out how to adapt it to their particular needs. Anyone familiar with CSS can create their own slide show theme. It’s totally simple, and it’s totally standards-driven.

As a bonus, its markup is compatible with the Opera Show Format, and S5 is engineered to be displayed using Opera Show when a presentation is run using Opera.
