Abstract Background Description Analysis Conclusions References

Web 2.0 is a term created to make a distinction between web pages that have content that change by a web designer changing the HTML code, and web pages that change by ways other than that. The first conference was held in October 2004 to discuss this issue and the term web 2.0 was created shortly after to suggest an upgrade to the old web practices. It is suggested by those in the conference that updating pages by changing the HTML was the first and most primitive way of making a page have dynamic content. And now they are loosely typing pages as belonging to the web 2.0 category by how dynamic they are.
