Greetings, Wednesday, April 16th - the topic will be "2.0: Building the Community - This will be the first in a series of hands-on events where we will discuss, plan, and build a "collaborative community"website.
In this first session, we will talk briefly about exactly what "Web 2.0" is (and isn't), and will learn about how this paradigm shift is shaping the way we build (and users perceive) the web (and intranets!), including concepts like collaboration, folksonomies, wikis, social networking, hosted services, and partially connected apps. We'll also discuss the technologies that are helping to popularize these concepts, such as AJAX, Web Services, XML & RSS, and Flex. We will break ground on the planning phase of HOUCFUG.ORG <http://HOUCFUG.ORG> 2.0, determining wants and needs, business and technical requirements, and will collaboratively develop the first draft of a functionality diagram. This is going to be an exciting, hands-on experience for those who choose to get involved. Not only will you learn where ColdFusion fits in to the "web 2.0" puzzle, you will experience the full process of taking a website with all the latest features from conceptualization to production over the course of a few meetings!
