From the blurb:

Web 2.0 for the Rest of Us

Joshua Porter is Director of Web Development at User Interface Engineering (UIE), a usability and online behavior research firm based in Middleton, Massachusetts. Josh is a researcher on topics such as on-site search systems and cross-browser compatibility issues and a contributor to the Brain Sparks and Bokardo blogs dedicated to interface design.

UIE on Web 2.0: “Web 2.0 isn’t a ‘thing’, but a collection of approaches, which are all converging on the development world at a rapid pace. These approaches, including APIs, RSS, Folksonomies, and Social Networking, suddenly give application developers a new way to approach hard problems with surprisingly effective results.”

Josh will outline the fundamentals of what a shift to Web 2.0 would mean to us as searchers, users, content providers and designers, wow us with demos and help prepare us for this brave new web world.
