SCC0219 - Introdução ao Desenvolvimento Web (2023)

Students will work in groups to answer questions in a Wiki about WWW history. If you did not work before with Moodle Wikis, see this small video (3:36 min.) on the Wiki activity page.

Each group will answer the following questions:

1. On the internet, nothing new is created if it can be reused from existing technologies. To prove this sentence, find 2 technologies from the WWW that reused technologies from pre-existing standards. For each:
   1. What and how was it reused?
   2. What were the advantages of reusing older technologies? 
   3. In your opinion, could they have used something different? Yes or No. Justify your answer.
2. Browser Wars. Companies fought wars to control the WWW technologies. 
   1. Do you agree with the narrative for the browser wars presented in the video?
   2. Why?
   3. Point out and explain 2 facts or situations that support your point of view (discuss them separately).

Each group has to choose:

1. Coordinator: To coordinate the discussions and group activities. He also has to control the time to ensure the group posts its results on time.
   
2. Editor: To write down the group's contents to the wiki.

Each group has to create a wiki page to write the group members' names, USP numbers, and answers to the questions. A group may divide the two questions among two subgroups, but, in this case, it is recommended that you reserve some time for each subgroup to review the other's text.
