A change project

Traditionally, software was developed for specific platforms, such as Windows, Linux, or Mac OS.

Today, developers build Web-based applications that run on the Web, that are completely independent of the user's actual computer operating system.

Web based platforms are based on Web 1.0 and Web 2.0

One of the goals of Web 2.0 is to facilitate the use of the Web as a development platform involving interaction and collaboration between creators and users.
