In the development of WW2010, we have explored and implemented new technologies in areas of data access and database management, web server appearance, layout, navigation and maintenance. This section takes a closer look at these core technologies.

Efficient Navigation:

• The WW2010 framework provides an easy-to-use and consistent navigation system in the form of a hierarchical vertical menubar on each page. Users can move between any one of hundreds of pages with only a few clicks and return easily.

Automated Layout:

• Each page is formatted using templates and the links to the navigation menu system are maintained automatically. Web server appearance can be globally changed in seconds.

Multiple Interfaces:

• Pages can be displayed in both "graphics" and "text" based interfaces and with or without "java enhancement" to accommodate a variety of user network and hardware capabilities. (The java enhancement mode is not yet operational).

Educational CD-ROM:

• Static portions of WW2010 such as instructional resources can easily be replicated and run off of CD-ROM...ideal for classroom use.
