Criteria
This project will allow you to meet the P1 criteria:
- Investigate into a range of relevant advanced web technologies
If you apply findings in this report to your development of your website in a future project, this will lead you towards M1 as well.
Project
Your current project requires that you produce a:
- Report
- Blog Article
- Presentation
- Video
about web technologies.
To begin with you should investigate and explain the following web technologies:
- Web browsers

- Uniform Resource Locators (URL)
- Servers
- Local

- Java
Remember, as you write about the above, you must discuss them in terms of:
- Functions and features
- What it can do - Application
- Examples of what it is used for - User enhancement
- How it can enhance the user experience - How can these be used to contribute to your own design work?

Perl is spelt as Per here, just a heads up =)
Also, I suppose Silverlight might be worth a mention? I wish this wasn't the case, though.
Oh, and activeX if that counts xD
Thanks for the comments James. I left ActiveX out because it wasn't required by the curriculum, and hey, they have enough to deal with. I suspect Silverlight came out after the spec was approved too. But it doesn't appear to offer much that can't already be achieved by other means.
We will see if they make any headway against Adobe in due course.
It's early days, but I'd prefer an Internet that didn't require a hundred and one extensions and plug-ins to run correctly.
