FIRST DAY OF CLASS - ITEC 830
I am very excited in the ITEC 830 course, it looks like there are a lot of things that I will be learning in this class. Exploring the definition of Web 2.0 in my opinion will be very interesting, since Web 2.0 has not been formally defined. It is interesting, depending on what field you are in, the definition for Web 2.0 seems to vary. For most people, it is about social networking like MySpace, Friendster, and YouTube. For some it is about ease of use and portability, since it is a web application. For developer like myself, it is about trying to adhere to the AJAX paradigm as close as possible. All in all, I believe I will be learning a lot in this class and I can't wait until we actually start doing projects and such.

Yes, I think that web 2.0 is going to be very interesting because a lot of people does not what it means. I have no idea how to explain about web 2.o.
I agree, this class should be very interesting.
What's the AJAX paradigm?
Web 2.0 is hard for me to explain also, but hopefully, as you said, this class will help open us up to all the potential available to make us better instructors.
AJAX stands for asynchronous javascript and xml.
The notorious example would be Netflix.
To put it in general term, it is a way to acquire information from the server efficiently. XML helps achieve this process in conjunction with javascript.
