2.  Web development is the work involved in developing
a web site for the Internet or an intranet. Web
development can range from developing a simple
single static page of plain text to complex web-based
internet applications electronic businesses, and
social network services.

4.  The rise of the internet within mainstream culture is largely correlated with its
history as a visual medium. Like many other computer systems and applications, it
took a graphic interface to get the general population to start to understand the
internet’s potential. The personal computer would not have proliferated
throughout our households and work environments without the display monitor,
and still did not become widely used until electronic spreadsheets, word
processors and video games started attracting users. Similarly, users did not start
buying into the World Wide Web until the visual-oriented web browser started
coming into its own in the early 1990s. And since that time, even though there
have been dramatic improvements in web technology and aesthetics, some of the
earliest web design techniques have persevered throughout the years.

5. History

6.  The Old Web
 The idea of the internet had existed in some form for at least a half a century before it
finally became a common household utility in the 1990s. Conceived in the 1980s, the
World Wide Web gained significant traction with the introduction of the Mosaic browser
in 1993. Shortly thereafter, businesses began recognizing the web’s commercial potential,
as network infrastructure grew to accommodate what would prove to be a massive influx
of online activity. Then the tech bubble grew and burst, the survivors of which (Google,
Amazon and the like) went from being key tech influencers to veritable corporate giants
within about a decade.
 In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee (then a fellow at the CERN Laboratory in Europe) outlined his
concept of a computer platform that could facilitate collaboration among researchers who
are based in different parts of the world. This led to the invention of the Hypertext
Markup Language (HTML) in 1990. Strongly based on the Standard Generalized Markup
Language (SGML), HTML became the fundamental building block of the World Wide
Web, and remains at the core of its coding and infrastructure. The standard enabled
coders with the ability to organize web page layouts that could be understood and
interacted with over interconnected networks.

8. The turn of the century
 The web advanced a great deal in the years following the tech crash of 2000–2001. During this
time, governmentstarted to play an increasinglyinfluentialrole in the web, while concurrently,
strong tech companiesemerged from the ashes of the big collapseto set the new course
for digital commerce and culture. And as this newer and more solid foundation was laid, the
internetincreasinglybecame the main channel for telecommunicationsin the modern age.
 As hardware improvements cultivated broadernetworks and greaterbandwidth, web
developmentresponded by enablingdesigners with an array of multimedia to incorporateinto
the growing and diversifyingart of web presentation. Cascading Style Sheets affordedweb
design with new ways to organize and displaycontent. Flash video forged a new and entirely
unique style of web art and animation,and video streaming changed the way that people
consume motion picture for good. Yet still, with all of these revolutionsand progressionsin web
development– the basic interface and structure ofthe web page has maintained its integrityand
balanceof form and function.

9.  Since the advent of the Mosaic browser and the subsequent
rise of the web interface, internet technology has thrived
through at least two major economic bubble bursts – in
2001 and in 2008. The latter collapse, while concurrent with
the larger housing crisis, also marked the age of a new killer
app – the mobile operating system. And in the years since
then, the web page has gradually changed shape to
accommodate its various new contexts. Now, the mobile
app could eventually even displace the web page as we
know it. But it still derives much of its basic properties
from design concepts innovated through the discipline of
web development.

10. 7 Great Web Development Tools
 Sublime Text. Let's start with the basics: a first-rate code editor – one
that features a well-designed, super efficient, and ultra speedy user
interface.
 Chrome Developer Tools. ...
 jQuery. ...
 GitHub. ...
 Twitter Bootstrap. ...
 Angular.js. ...
 Sass.

11.  Web apps are developed with programming languages such as HTML and CSS, which are well
known among IT professionals.
 Unlike native apps, a single web app is able to reach out to all devices. It’s programmed to run on
any operating system. It must appropriately adapt to iOS, Android, and Windows Phone —
amongst other operating systems.
 These apps run on the device’s own web browser through a simple URL.
 They don’t need to be downloaded and installed from app stores like Google Play or Apple’s App
Store. This translates into money saving since having a direct link through a web app is free.
 They may also open websites. This means that they don’t require to be updated in the way
common apps do. In this sense, it’s the website to which the application is linked that will be
updated.
 The most important benefit you can draw off from it is its price. Web app development is the
cheaper kind of app development. It consists of creating a link or several links between the
application and an URL. Developing a native app or an interpreted app entails a higher cost but its
chances to succeed are far greater.
 On the other hand, a web app’s development time is lower. Hence it’s lower price.

13.  As we indicated previously, a single web app is able to reach out to all devices. The website
must, of course, be programmed in a way it can be shown regardless of the device’s operating
system. If it’s not a responsive website, you could experience problems when displaying it on
iOS, Android, or Windows Phone.
 You will have to spend the money you intended to save developing the application
in improving your website. It’s of no use to make a web app if you don’t adapt your website in
a way it can be shown with quality on any device. Let’s keep in mind that the updates are done
on your website and not on your web app.
 If your website undergoes any kind of issue, your application will be in trouble too. Don’t
assume that your web app will work perfectly if you don’t have a quality corporate website. For
example, if the website’s URL takes some time to load or if uncomfortable ‘cookies’ show up
when entering the website, accessing it through the application will entail the same issues.
The problem is not inherent to your web app. It’s rather located in the website’s development.
 An Internet connection will be an absolute must to run it. Otherwise, you will not be able to
browse the website and the web app will be of no use to you.
 It will also lose visibility as it will not be on display in the stores.
 In addition, there will be some access restrictions as to certain hardware features of the
device it’s running on.
