The growing importance of networks can be seen in our everyday life. No day passes by without utilizing networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube or even the information network Google. This network invasion shows the importance for the understanding of net-work dynamics and the importance for business to react accordingly to these new expecta-tions and possibilities these technologies open up.
This work wants to introduce to basic principles of networking and then shortly assesses technologies possibilities in emerging frameworks.
