Im dritten Teil unserer Kursreihe werfen wir einen Blick auf wegweisende Anwendungen im Web. Viele von uns nutzen regelmäßig die Google Suchmaschine, kaufen online ein oder lernen im Web, z.B. auf openHPI. Wie diese Anwendungen im Einzelnen funktionieren und welches Geschäftsmodell sie verfolgen, erfahren Sie in diesem Kurs.
