Web Technology is changing rapidly, as more and more new features are being added consistently. In the web 2.0 users can alter the content of website, which is not allowed in the previous non-interactive websites.

Web 2.0 is becoming increasingly popular day by day. This is because there is great use of wikis, blogs, and social networking technologies.

In the academic world and the people in business invent to spell 2.0s, consisting of  Government 2.0, Travel 2.0, Library 2.0, Social Work 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, Publishing 2.0, Medicine 2.0, and Telco 2.0 . These 2.0 refers to Web 2.0 technologies. These are the new modified versions of respective specialized field.

Abode Flash and Abode Flex framework, Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) and JavaScript/Ajax frameworks such as Dojo Toolkit, jQuery, Yahoo! UI Library and MooTools is typically used in Web 2.0 in the client-side /web browser technologies. JavaScript is used in Ajax programming to upload and download new data from the web server. In this process they do not undergo full page reload.

Now a day’s Document Object Model (DOM) is used to dynamically update the web pages. It is based on the new data received. Apart from it Flash and Ajax, JavaScript/Ajax frameworks are famous in creating Web 2.0 sites. The same technology used in the whole process which is Document Object Model, Ajax, and the JavaScript.

ASP, Ruby, JSP, Perl, Python, ColdFusion, and PHP is used in Web 2.0 on server side. The developer uses them to dynamically update the data. In this case they use information from database and files. There is also Web 3.0 which is all about personalization and semantic web.
The Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that assist in information sharing, user-centered design, collaboration on the world wide web and interoperability. Instances of Web 2.0 consists of hosted services, web-based communities, social networking sites, web applications, wikis, blogs, video-sharing sites, folksonomies , and mashups.

Viewers often prefer websites designed with table-less xhtml and HTML in comparison to those having a number of tables. The reason for this is that they do not wish to experience the hassles of a slow downloading site on their browser. Use of tables, columns, and rows can limit the browser capabilities to a large extent in respect of fast navigation.

One of the requirements of such designing is adaption of PSD to XHTML. Good news for the aspirant clients is that there are real good providers who perform the task of such designing at most affordable prices and requisitioning their services will always be cost and time economic for the client. Obtaining the psd files from the clients, these provider and designers will convert them into navigable XHTML. However, some of them may design in the traditional table based mark up while those following advanced paths will go for the table-less html and xhtml designing.

With the process the benefit of the client would be increase in their online clientele as well as their diverse strategic activities and approaches. Coding that are commensurate with the requirements of the search engines and their algorithms will help the client site rise in ranking on the result pages of the search engines and will also find place in the leading web directories.

Table less web designing is one of the latest technologies that have proved to be extremely useful in attracting the viewers thereby adding to the traffic flow and revenue generation of the site concerned.

And that is the ultimate objective of any web designing.

Apple’s iPhone has the largest collection of applications written for it. That’s a fact and it will take a long time before any other platform gets close to their numbers, especially with new apps added everyday. And the recent crackdown on cookie-cutter apps that just copy others and don’t provide anything valuable to the users will help ensure that the quality of the marketplace stays high.

The iPad and the much-rumored iPhone 4G will play an important role in growing the apps market even more, as the applications will be cross-compatible on all these devices, including the first-generation iPhone and and iPhone 3G.

If you plan on buying an iPhone, you can be assured that it will definitely not get old in the next few years. One thing I’d recommend though is to wait until the next generation iPhone comes out. There are 2 good reasons for that: one, the new device will likely have  a lot more features and power and you might like it more; two, the current performance champion, iPhone 3GS, will definitely get cheaper, possibly by a high margin, and you, as a buyer, will only benefit from saving a few tens or hundreds of dollars.

Having said that let me show you a few of the coolest and most amazing apps you can get and install on an iPhone.

Photoshop Mobile. Yes, the most popular and functional photo editing software for desktop computers, used by many professionals around the world has a mobile edition, both for the iPhone and Android devices (although it’s a bit more limited on the latter). It certainly isn’t as advanced as the full version, but it’s more than enough to quickly edit any of the pictures you take, for sending them via email or posting them on a site, forum or social network. You can crop, resize, modify and apply various effects (like black and white, sepia, old, mosaic, etc.) to any of the images you have on your phone.

Skype. This is a great app for making cheap calls and sending cheap SMS messages all over the world, using VoIP (which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol) via your operator’s 3G network or any available Wi-Fi hotspot (which makes it even cheaper). You can also have a special Skype number which will be cheaper to call from the country you register it in, no matter where in the world you are. I can be redirected to any other mobile or fixed telephone number, which makes it even better. You should definitely check it out. A better choice would be Google Voice, which offers all of the above plus more (like automatic voice messages transcription and receiving calls to multiple numbers at once) for free, but unfortunately Apple decided not to allow their app in the marketplace. There is a mobile edition though, but it’d cost more to use than Skype.

Layar Reality Browser. This is an amazing Augmented Reality app for the iPhone and Android, and it allows you to find places of interest near you. For example, you could search for the best café and it’ll give you a map of all the café’s near you with user reviews, so you can choose one. Then you could travel to it using your GPS and compass. You could also hold the phone in front of you and Layar will display a mark right above the building where you need to go to (using your phone’s camera as a real-time view). The app also integrates with Facebook and Twitter, so you can see the tweets and messages of any people around you that have an account (which is practically everybody these days . The app is perfect if you’re in a new town and don’t know what to do or where to go.

ModGuitars.com Tuner. This simple web application will help you tune your guitar. It isn’t an automated system that would tell you when the tune is right using the phone’s microphone (although that would be awesome). Instead, it provides you with the sounds of perfectly tuned guitar strings, and you can use them to tune yours (you gotta have an ear for music though). The interface is simple, just visit the link and prepare to tune your guitar.

Need for Speed Shift. This is one of the best games on the desktop and on any mobile platform, including the iPhone. The effects, controls and graphics are simply outstanding, and you can play it over and over again and never get tired of it. Definitely a must have game if you use your phone for entertainment and like car racing simulators.

If you already own an iPhone or plan to buy one, definitely try the above apps, to see how your phone can do for you something you never thought was possible on such a small device.
