Abstract

The World Wide Web has been known as service to wider community since the early 1990's. The very first generation of World Wide Web was used only as source of information but in the late 1990's new web pages started to appear, which offered us much more than before. The World Wide Web as we know today is called Web 2.0. One of the most important characteristic of Web 2.0 is the ability to communicate and collaborate with other users. Development of web application that stands out with this characteristic is demonstrated in this thesis – the communication and collaboration between users. In this thesis we tried to realize solution of the problem which occurs with communication and collaboration between users of the World Wide Web. It may have happened to you, that you tried to forward somebody a hyperlink on a web page in a fast and easy way, at the same time highlight certain content and add this content a few of your own ideas, but you didn't find the right way to exchange this information. For that reason an idea of making a web application that offers us all that and more, has been developed and described in this thesis. This thesis is briefly divided into two parts. In the first part, there is theoretically represented majority of tools, approaches and technologies, which were used in developing our web application. Therefore a problem that we wanted to solve and a modern web application as a solution to this problem are discussed in this thesis.
