Welcome to Unit 6! Adding Interactivity This week’s reading: Chapter 11: Adding Interactivity

Introduction In this unit, you’ll add Web 2.0 functionality to your Web pages. One of the most significant differences between Web 2.0 and the traditional World Wide Web (retroactively referred to as Web 1.0) is greater collaboration among Internet users and other users, content providers, and enterprises. While there is no clear demarcation between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, blogs, wikis, and interactive technologies like AJAX and RSS are considered to be part of the interactivity provided by Web 2.0.
