Web 2.0 Delivery Concepts and Mechanisms
- Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax). A client-side interactivity framework that allows parts of Web pages to make HTTP requests and be refreshed without requiring a full page load.
- Document Object Model (DOM). Defines the objects that enable Ajax and JavaScript to grab hold of and manipulate elements on a Web page.
- Mashup. Out on the Web, a page that combines information retrieved from multiple sources by using Ajax controls to make asynchronous requests to multiple HTTP addresses.
- Adobe Flash. Enables Web 2.0 applications to do things not currently possible in HTML, such as play audio and video files.
- Cloud Computing. Uses the network as a platform for delivering services virtually instead of requiring fixed physical server computers.
