Follow on Google News | New Book on the Principles and Technologies of Web 2.0 and Beyond Now Available from CRC PressThis multidisciplinary perspective illustrates not only the wide implications of computing but also how other areas interpret what computer science is doing.
By: CRC Press After an introductory chapter, the book is divided into three sections. The first one discusses the underlying ideas and principles, including user-generated content, the architecture of participation, data on an epic scale, harnessing the power of the crowd, openness and the network effect and Web topology. The second section chronologically covers the main types of Web 2.0 services—blogs, wikis, social networks, media sharing sites, social bookmarking and microblogging. Each chapter in this section looks at how the service is used, how it was developed and the technology involved, important research themes and findings from the literature. The final section presents the technologies and standards that underpin the operation of Web 2.0 and goes beyond this to explore such topics as the Semantic Web, cloud computing and Web Science. Suitable for non-experts, students and computer scientists, this book provides an accessible and engaging explanation of Web 2.0 and its wider context yet is still grounded in the rigor of computer science. It takes readers through all aspects of Web 2.0, from the development of technologies to current services.
