Web2.0 is a term that refers to the next-generation Internet experience for both Webmasters and users.  From the Webmaster's perspective, Web2.0 technologies perform complicated and repetitive tasks such as modifying and maintaining content and managing incoming data – tasks that were previously done manually.  But it also means enhancing functionality and
the ability to create an engaging visual and multi-media Web experience.  To the user, Web2.0 means a more interactive and user-friendly World Wide Web – it means Gmail and Google maps, Flickr and Del.icio.us, social networking, Wiki, blogging, and a host of other recent developments, services, and phenomena.  Web2.0 is what's happening on the Web today, an extraordinary transformation in terms of interactiveness, user-generated content, user-friendly design and functionality, search capability, data management, dynamic content, social bookmarking, 'findability', 'connectability', and so much more.  We will dive right into the heart of this transformation, exploring the technologies behind the scenes that are allowing it all to happen.  Over the next ten weeks, you will learn how to set up and design your own Web
