It’s no secret that the World Wide Web has grown by leaps and bounds, and unlike it’s first decade, has grown in a more structured manner, led by what– through the boom of social-this-and-that, web-too-point-widgets for thing-ah-mash-jig, feeds in syndication and web-services as enhancements available to existing applications, whether PHP or ASP.NET, pioneering with Python or the resurrection of the tome of JavaScript, like a religion having so many new-wave converts– we might agree, although these changes are ubiquitously pervasive on the realm of public, enterprise, educational, and beyond, seems nevertheless to have been driven largely by a few big names which date back to the earliest days of the Web, with the exception of Google perhaps. Take for example, the YUI, the Google Web Toolkit, and other popular, so-called Web 2.0 site builder frameworks, templates (whichever rhetoric best fits your own experience), the ability to create a portal which is both credible and functional, yet may be individually branded by any organization, idividual, or for example, as the NoviceNotes™ Partner Page on Google, is a phenomenon so new, yet so rapidly changing it is enough to make one’s head spin, literally!

On that note– of head-spinning– a few months ago, I created a Google Parter Page, which is essentially like any individual Google-Account-Holder’s “Google.com/IG”, or iGoogle™ page (the personal home page, which can be customized by any google account holder, visible by a user if he or she is logged into any Google application [such as G-Mail, Picasaweb, Google Maps, etc], by following www.google.com/ig ).

The NoviceNotes™ Partner Page on Google® is just a little something (available at the URL, below) which I threw together in a few minutes of pointing-and-clicking, dragging and dropping, what appeared to be (at the time) some very impressive, useful little gadgets, widgets, feeds, etc., all on the subject of Web Application Development, and WebSite Design for Integration with Web Services (SOA), etc.

I could sit here and try to describe it all day, but it’s best to just check this out! Enjoy:

Your feedback is welcome– rather– greatly encouraged for this one. I’d really like to know what you think about how something like this; like what is becoming available through so many web services solutions, might be further integrated into NoviceNotes™, that NoviceNotes™ itself could become, for you, a more finely tailored web services-reference, and web application development-resource, such that the idea of visiting NoviceNotes™ means visiting a really useful culmination of practical, not just for the sake of mashing-it-up, but real, practical tools to be used during the learning process. Again, give me your feedback. Let’s talk about it, and see how– together– we might make something really great of this. I’ll be waiting by the phone.
