Web 2.0 Style Tutorials?

Hi, what are some good websites that provide "Web 2.0 Style" webpage tutorials. Thanks, and if possible, list multiples sites.

Web 2.0 Style Tutorials?
the term web2.0 is more referring to functionality (lots of AJAX) and features (like social networking). but usually web2.0 sites make use of css, good point to start is probably http://www.w3schools.com/
Reply:Jason, Web 2.0 is all about functionality. So in that light remember to keep your typography big for readability, but not overly so especially with paragraphs. Keep your navigation simple. Colors should be bright and memorable. Overall it should be easy to use, self evident, and fulfill it's dot com purpose.





Some sites (though not all tutorial):

Reply:Click on the "Developers" link at Mozilla.com. It links to several good Web 2.0 articles on different websites.





Keep in mind that Web 2 requires TONS of Javascript (or VBScript, or JScript, or Perlscript, or ...) for Ajax, DOM manipulation, et al and that it brings you back to the days of the Netscape/Internet Explorer "war" because of differences in architecture. [MSIE 6/7 are less than 70% DOM compatible while Firefox and other Gecko browsers are over 90%.] So you'll often be coding the same thing over and over again to obtain similar functionality.
