In Learning Module 5 we were introduced to Web 2.0 applications, file sharing, and imaging for the web. We started off with learning how FTP and Peer to peer(P2P) file sharing. This is the basis of how music, movies, and software are illegally downloaded. Though it wasn't meant for that use, that is pretty much what it has become. We also touched on imaging for the web; how graphics can be productive and help enhance your application. For this section we had to optimize and upload our own images to the web. This makes the image more fitting for its use on the internet by reducing the size and making it more practical to upload. Lastly, we learned about web 2.0 technology. Web 2.0 seems to be taking over with online applications such as Facebook and other social networking sites, numerous online Google applications, wiki's, and many more. Web 2.0 is all about collaboration and socialization.
I thought that I participated pretty actively in this module and had everything done on time, however I wish that I was more active in the discussion section.
