Web Development

Web development involves creating websites and web applications. It encompasses several aspects including web design, web content development, client-side/server-side scripting, and network security configuration. Here are the key areas in web development:

Front-End Development

• • HTML (HyperText Markup Language): The standard markup language for creating web pages.
  • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Used to describe the presentation of a document written in HTML.
  • JavaScript: A scripting language used to create dynamic content on web pages.
  • Frameworks and Libraries: Tools like React, Angular, and Vue.js to streamline front-end development.

Back-End Development

• • Server-Side Languages: Languages like PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, and Node.js that handle backend logic.
  • Databases: Systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQLite to store and manage data.
  • Frameworks: Tools like Django (Python), Ruby on Rails (Ruby), Express (Node.js), and Laravel (PHP) to facilitate backend development.

Full-Stack Development

• • Combination of Front-End and Back-End: Full-stack developers handle both client-side and server-side development.

DevOps and Deployment

• • Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Practices and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) to automate the deployment process.
  • Server Management: Managing servers and hosting services, such as AWS, Azure, or Heroku.

Tools and Version Control

• • • Version Control Systems: Tools like Git and platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for source code management.
    • Development Environments: IDEs and code editors like Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and IntelliJ IDEA.

Web Development Trends

• • Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): Web applications that use modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like experience.
  • Single Page Applications (SPAs): Web applications that load a single HTML page and dynamically update content as the user interacts with the app.
  • Responsive Design: Ensuring web applications work on a variety of devices and screen sizes.
