Web Development amidst a Pandemic.
“Web development”, doesn’t it seem extremely exciting? Well it indeed is one and what is more interesting is when a school going child can do all this. Well how can a child handle the plethora of resources available? How can a child handle complex web applications? Well the answer to all this lies in the secret of learning how to code?
Coding is like writing in today’s world. A child can grow framing words and running commands on the program simultaneously. Once we learn to code Web development will not seem something big, but only a part of this ever enriching experience. And when in times like these when we are completely dependent on online platforms having the skill catering to Web Development and making the most out of it is not only a necessity but also an opportunity in itself.
Web development is the work involved in developing a Website for the Internet or an intranet. Web development can range from developing a simple single static page of plain text to complex web applications, electronic businesses, and social network services.
Before we move forward to learning more about Web development here’s a few basic concepts:-
• Among Web professionals, “Web development” usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building Websites: writing mark-up and coding.
• Web development may use content management systems (CMS) to make content changes easier and available with basic technical skills.
• For larger organizations and businesses, Web development teams can consist of hundreds of people (Web developers) and follow standard methods like Agile methodologies while developing Websites.
• Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting developer, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer or information systems technician.
• Web development may be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated department.
• There are three kinds of Web developer specialization: front-end developer, back-end developer, and full-stack develop
• Front-end developers are responsible for behavior and visuals that run in the user browser, while back-end developers deal with the servers.
There are many open source tools for Web development such as :-
• Berkeley DB
• GlassFish
• LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
• Perl/Placck
An ever-growing set of tools and technologies have helped developers build more dynamic and interactive Websites.
Web development has also impacted personal networking and marketing;
• Websites are no longer simply tools for work or for commerce, but serve more broadly for communication and social networking.
• Websites such as Facebook and Twitter provide users with a platform to communicate and organizations with a more personal and interactive way to engage the public.
