Friday March 10, 2006 Web 2.0 & Microsoft (subtle?) play - rich clients, flexible portals Sifting thru the maze, one will find that Web 2.0 is- at the core- a very flexible applications framework. That spans very rich (and smarter) clients, connecting to, again, flexible portals/web applications. While Miocrosoft seems to be staying away from the term Web 2.0 or AJAX, they do seem to have quitely built an offering here. Via its Atlas technology. This includes all the buzz words and terms in the now hyped RIA. I quote:
Atlas serving all the fancy stuff that AJAX can now do,and many AJAX IDEs and frameworks claim to be making easy to do (really?!), the other component of Web 2.0 is the rehashed mashup like Web Portals and Applications. Wherin the conventional application model- with its web UI and middle tier functional components and the backend database- is beint extended to access multiple backend enterprise solutions and services, access sources of info and services over the internet (shipping, payment, et al), access new info soucres such as blogs, and more. Even here Microsoft seem to be pitching the Sharepoint Portal Technology . While this is not new, looking at the technology, it does seem much like what many Web 2.0 solutions are talking about these days, as the backend component to the new web application architectures.
If you can see my posts over the past month or so, am trying to myself get clarity on exactly what this animal is- Web 2.0. Am finding that, much like SOA, Web 2.0 is also more a rehash of existing concepts and technologies with a new and unified spin. Creating a slightly modified paradigm. Probably in this case, amplified by some of the new developments over the web, such as the Blogs and RSS feeds. More on this shortly (working on a paper)..
