So, let's get started!
Web 1.0 : (1990-2000) - Web for Reading Only
The first stage of the World Wide Web is Web 1.0, which is read-only and static type. This is called static because users can only read such websites, but cannot add anything. Another name for this is the web of information. Such websites were used by different companies or individuals to present information.
Web 1.0 Web Pages The basic communication protocol was developed using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It is called a reading web only because no one could write anything on these web pages.
Web 2.0 : (2000-2010) - Web of Expression Through Reading and Writing
The second stage of the World Wide Web is Web 2.0, which was used for both reading and writing. This is called a dynamic website. Its other name is the social web. Most social media like blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc are developed by web 2.0. Many people still use Web 2.0 to share their thoughts.
This type of web uses Ajax, JavaScript,
React, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS),
Sass, Document Object Model (DOM), Extensible HTML (XHTML), XSL Transformations (XSLT) / XML, and Adobe Flash.
Web 3.0 : (2010-beyond) - Semantic Web
Web 3.0 version was first described in 2006, which is well-organized and structured and used to automatically separate, break, or discover data. This means that Web 3.0 is not just for publishing through reading or writing, it provides almost all kinds of benefits to the user.
By understanding the semantics of the words, sentences, and HTML elements used on the Web 3.0 page, the computer can automatically make a decision and conclude. This is called the semantic web. For example, when you search for something in the Google search engine or YouTube search engine, it suggests or prepares some things according to the needs of the user.
Web 3.0 is decentralized. That means it will not have a central server. It's a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. Web 3.0 uses
blockchain technology. In web 3.0 you own your data. Which means no company can sell your data to advertisers. You've got direct power to sell your data to advertisers and earn profits.
The most powerful feature of Web 3 is the DAO. DAO stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. DAO lets people govern, work, design, and allocate resources collectively.
