The Document Object Model is defined by the W3C as: “The Document Object Model is a platform- and language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents. The document can be further processed and the results of that processing can be incorporated back into the presented page. This is an overview of DOM-related materials here at W3C and around the web.” (W3C) i The DOM is a form of advanced programmer interface (API), designed to allow web-developers access to fuctions and objects within the page via javascript. This allows the flexible creation and update of page and site elements in manners that most programmers would already understand. Since the DOM uses Javascript; it is executed within the Client Browser, it may also be executed by any language including but not limited to VBScript, C#, ASP.NET et cetera, ad nosium.(W3Schools) ii Since the DOM Model is Platform independent it may be ma...

( Pilkington et al. ) [ii] Requirements Analysis and Engineering is a method utilized within software engineering to elicit conditions and needs of the clients for a proposed software solution to a business issue in a structured manner as to facilitate the primary development stages of...

The web is growing at an exponential rate as the result of Moore’s Law (Moore) [i] , this creates an inverse proportion to the given “Cost” of information. Ie; as processing power doubles so too does storage, bandwidth, and all other related technology. A result of this is the reduction in cost of all technology; thus what once could host only 1000 web pages may now host 10,000, and thus the ability to host increases exponentially every 18 months. Information and Knowledge wants to be free as a result of its very nature as stated by Stwart Brand (Clarke) [ii] This results in instantaneous availability of mass amounts of information. This is the reason we now refer to the present as the “Information Age”. (Ulmer) [iii] We may easily fill volumes in regards to what is now available and how this impacts everyday life however for a look to the future and a prediction I foresee is the advent of wearable computing and communications as seen here with MIT’s Media Lab’s sixth sense.(Maes...
