Web2.0 confusion

There has been a lot of confusion around web2.0. Who’s better to reduce this confusion than Martin Fowler! Check out his latest blog post about this topic. I especially found this interesting:

"A common misconception I run into is that Web 2.0 is all new stuff. Most of the ideas under Web 2.0 are actually quite old and have been used on the web from early on, for instance Amazon's community or the use of Wikis. The point is that then they were the minority. The Web 2.0 shift is about the principles that were used by a few in the 90's becoming the majority in the future."

And just to clarify even further, Web 2.0 is not a product; you cannot buy it in any store! :)

about me!

Hi, I'm Jon Arild Tørresdal. I’m an Architect for the Norwegian insurance company Frende Forsikring, chapter Lead of Norwegian .Net User Group (NNUG) in Bergen and .NET editor for InfoQ. I've been coding professionally since 1998 and on .NET since 1999. I'm an early adapter always looking for new ways to put technology to use for the company I work for, at NNUG or just as an excuse to do some coding at home.

I’m a great fan of Agile practices like XP, Scrum, Kanban and Lean. My first experience with Agile was in 2006, when I introduced Scrum to CMA Contiki (my former employer), which was a great success. Later I found the lack of engineering practices in Scrum pulled me closer to Extreme Programming. I’m constantly trying to motivate developers, testers and other agile team members to adapt the Agile way of thinking to improve the overall quality of software delivery. My motivation for studying these practices is to constantly improve the way I and others work in my organization; both by having fun and adding value to our customers.

I’m also a speaker, focusing on engineering practices (clean code), Agile and best practices (often represented in forms of patterns). At work I often find myself doing presentations on technologies we're about to adapt or how to improve our agile process.

Except from work I am married to my beautiful wife, Gry Helene and we live together with our son Jesper. I love good food and wine, especially red wine from northern Italy. I'm trying to start a collection without any great luck so far :-)

Hope you enjoy my blog!
