2.0 - Social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies. 3.0 - Semantic Web (Tim Berners-Lee), Machines readable web pages, personal search engines
 * Web 2.0 and Web 3.0**

-determining budgets -gathering business requirements and user needs -designing models -writing user documentation
 * Systems development life cycle (SDLC)** - A structured step-by-step approach for developinginformation systems

1) Planning 2) Analysis 3) Design 4) Development 5) Testing 6) Implementation 7) Maintenance
 * CYCLE**:

-sequential activity based process -success rate = 10% -the only constant is change
 * WATERFALL**:

- Rapid Application Development(RAD) - Extreme Programming(XP) - Business drivers
 * o Focuses on developing a prototype
 * o Actively involve system users in the analysis,design and development phases.
 * o Accelerate the collection of business requirements through an interactive and iterative construction approach.
 * o [[image:1.png]]
 * o Breaks project into tiny phases and developers cannot continue on to the next phase until the first phase is complete.
 * o Individually, the pieces make no sense until they are combined together.
 * o Difference with the waterfall is that XP divides its phases into iterations.
 * o Agile methodology is a form of XP; break project into smaller projects and deliver on each separately
 * o Bussiness changes are faster
 * o IT = innovation and cometitve advantages.
 * o Problems
 * § Enrollment in IT colleges programs declining
 * § Perception that IT jobs are decreasing
 * § Desired skills in entry level candidates:
 * Programming
 * Support/help desk
 * § Roles most likely to be outsourced/offshore:
 * Programming
 * Support/helpdesk
 * o Its not about hiring:
 * § Relationship management
 * § Leadership
 * § Business acumen
 * § Global acumen
 * § Global perspective
 * § Strategy -> execution
 * § Collaborative and partnering.
