Schedule: Fundamentals sessions

Web 2.0 has many component parts. The core concept of the Web as a platform continues to evolve, and recent developments in cloud computing and platform-as-a-service are building out Tim O’Reilly’s original definition. We’ll discuss the state of the art and the relevant open questions around the building blocks of Web 2.0: user-generated content, tagging, collective intelligence, co-development with your users, cooperation, identity, trust, transparency, and data ownership and access. This track is designed to help those newer to Web 2.0 understand how to bring the core concepts of Web 2.0 together to deliver a great web application.

Sessions in the Fundamentals topic will happen on Tuesday, November 17.
