Web_1.0

=Web 1.0=

Web 1.0, or the original World Wide Web, was a new way of sharing text and image communications, initially. It was not long before sound, and eventually video, joined the images and text in presenting information more widely than ever before.

Having more information was a good thing, but it was difficult to create pages and also difficult to change the pages. So the information was very static. Things could, and did, get out of date very easily.

In the WEAVE track you will get a chance to see some educational pages that were developed under Web 1.0 principles. While some are old pages, others are pretty new. The need to distribute information is still very much with us. One difference you may detect, if you know how to recognize it, is that some of these newer pages actually were built with Web 2.0 technologies, just in a one to many, non-collaborative, format. Web 2.0 tools make Web 1.0 pages easier to build and update.

In the HTML track you will experience building a Web 1.0 page using first generation HTML tagging. HTML was a lot easier than using a programming language. Technically speaking, HTML was a script language using tags. That means tags are inserted in regular typescript, rather than typescript being inserted in a programming language. Nevertheless, HTML is the abbreviation for __H__yper__T__ext __M__arkup __L__anguage. The key to recognizing it as a script language is the work "Markup," but most people see Language at the end and assume they are programming.
