Web Application Development is the process and practice of developing web applications. Web Applications are dynamic web sites combined with server-side programming which provide functionalities such as interacting with users, connecting to back-end databases, and generating results to browsers. Examples of Web Applications are Online Banking, Social Networking, Online Reservations, eCommerce / Shopping Cart Applications, Interactive Games, Online Training, Online Polls, Blogs, Online Forums, Content Management Systems, and many more.
Web developers are at the forefront of the Internet age. Not only is the web development field exciting and at the forefront of the digital age, but it’s also a growing field.
WHAT DOES A WEB DEVELOPER DO?
Front-end developers (also known as client-side development) use a variety of programming languages and frameworks such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build the exterior look and features of a site.
Back-end developers use programming languages such as Python and Ruby to design, build and integrate applications from front-end development into the back end—in other words, they make the features on the site operator.
Individuals with skills in both front- and back-end development are known as “full-stack developers.”
Despite the real advantages that come with an organized education, web development is still a field in which concrete skills can trump education when it comes to employment opportunities.
Companies want employees who can produce, and how or where something was learned is secondary to simply be able to do it.
Prospective web developers should have expertise in the three core programming components: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
They should also learn about CSS and CSS frameworks such as Backbone, Bootstrap, and Foundation.
Finally, to build applications, developers should be proficient in back-end languages such as Ruby, Java, PHP and tools such as Oracle and SQL Server.
