- Have Web 1.0/Current Landscape on top and ad new Web 2.0 to bottom. Your Hebrew background is showing ;^)- Have Web 2.0 line appear with build
- I would use black for the old landscape and brighter color for text on new landscape items

AJAX ± What is it?
± AJAX is Asynchronous JavaScript And XML
± A web development technique for creating interactive web
applications
± Allows exchanging small amounts of data with the server
behind the scenes, without the page having to reload each
time ± Meant to increase web pages interactivity, speed, and
customer usability

FLEX ± What is it?
± Adobe Flash has unique animation capabilities
± Traditional application programmers found it challenging to
adapt to Flash
± Flex minimizes the problem by providing a workflow and
programming model that is familiar to application developers.
± Flex provides an easier way to build Flash applications

Affect the runtime behavior - manually run vusers will
