A Research about Web Development

Abstract
Every website is need development.
without of it, website cannot be improving
and enhance. Internet users reaching
millions worldwide and expecting to
increase more over the years is a sign for
websites as the crucial medium of
information transmission and dissemination.

Introduction
Web development is a broad term
for the work involved in developing a web
site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or
an intranet (a private network). Web
development can range from developing the
simplest static single page of plain text to
the most complex web-based internet
applications, electronic
businesses,
and social network services. A more
comprehensive list of tasks to which web
development commonly refers, may
include web engineering, web design, web
content development, client liaison, clientside/server-side scripting, web
server and network security configuration,
and e-commerce development. Among web
professionals, "web development" usually
refers to the main non-design aspects of
building
websites:
writing markup and coding. Most recently
Web development has come to mean the
creation of content management systems.
Web development is the coding or
programming
that
enables
website
functionality, per the owner's requirements.

Is
an information
space where
documents and other web resources are
identified
by URLs,
interlinked
by hypertext links, and can be accessed via
the Internet. The World Wide Web was
invented by English scientist Tim BernersLee in 1989. He wrote the first web browser
in 1990 while employed at CERN in
Switzerland.
It has become known simply as the Web.
When used attributively (as in web page,
web browser, website, web server, web
traffic, web search, web user, web
technology, etc.) it is invariably written in
lower case. Otherwise the initial capital is
often retained (the Web), but lower case is
becoming increasingly common (the web).
The World Wide Web was central to the
development of the Information Age and is
the primary tool billions of people use to
interact on the Internet.
Web pages are primarily text documents
formatted and annotated with Hypertext
Markup Language (HTML). In addition to
formatted
text,
web
pages
may

contain images, video, and software

components that are rendered in the
user's web browser as coherent pages
of multimedia content.

turning it into the largest Internet site in

Europe within a few years. As a result,
CERN's infrastructure was ready for
Berners-Lee to create the Web.

Embedded hyperlinks permit

users
to navigate between web pages. Multiple
web pages with a common theme, a
common domain name, or both, may be
called a website. Website content can largely
be provided by the publisher, or interactive
where users contribute content or the content
depends upon the user or their actions.
Websites may be mostly informative,
primarily for entertainment, or largely for
commercial purposes.

Berners-Lee wrote a proposal in March 1989

for "a large hypertext database with typed
links". Although the proposal attracted little
interest, Berners-Lee was encouraged by his
boss, Mike Sendall, to begin implementing
his system on a newly acquired NeXT
workstation. He considered several names,
including Information
Mesh, The
Information Mine or Mine of Information,
but settled on World Wide Web.

History of World Wide Web

In 1980, Tim Berners-Lee, an
independent contractor at the European
Organization
for
Nuclear
Research (CERN), Switzerland,
built
ENQUIRE, as a personal database of people
and software models, but also as a way to
play with hypertext; each new page of
information in ENQUIRE had to be linked
to an existing page.
Berners-Lee's contract in 1980 was from
June to December, but in 1984 he returned
to CERN in a permanent role, and
considered its problems of information
management: physicists from around the
world needed to share data, yet they lacked
common machines and any shared
presentation software.
Shortly after Berners-Lee's return to CERN,
TCP/IP protocols were installed on some
key non-Unix machines at the institution,

Web programming refers to the

writing, markup and coding involved in Web
development, which includes Web content,
Web client and server scripting and network
security. The most common languages used
for Web programming are XML, HTML,
JavaScript, Perl 5 and PHP. Web
programming is different from just
programming,
which
requires
interdisciplinary
knowledge
on
the
application area, client and server scripting,
and database technology.
Explains Web Programming
Web programming can be briefly
categorized into client and server coding.
The client side needs programming related
to accessing data from users and providing
information. It also needs to ensure there are
enough plug ins to enrich user experience in
a graphic user interface, including security
measures.

1. To improve user experience and

related functionalities on the client
side, JavaScript is usually used. It is

an excellent client-side platform for

designing and implementing Web
applications.

2. HTML5 and CSS3 supports most of

the client-side functionality provided
by other application frameworks.

the tools used here include ASP,

Lotus Notes, PHP, Java and MySQL.
There are certain tools/platforms that
aid in both client- and server-side
programming. Some examples of
these are Opa and Tersus and PHP
with MySQL.

3. The server side needs programming

mostly related to data retrieval,
security and performance. Some of

25. What is Web Development?
26. Website Development is a process
for creating a new website or
implementing changes to one already
in use, e.g. adding a significant new
section to a live site.
27. In simple terms, the process
represents a framework within which
all activitiesfrom inception to
review (and eventual demise, if
necessary)can take place.
28. There are 8 steps in the development
process. These are:
29.
Planning: Decide why you
want a website and what to create.
30.
Content: Create a list of the
content you want.
31.
Design: Create a design for
displaying the content.

Construction: Write the
code and load up your content.
33.
Test: Make sure everything
works properly.
34.
Hosting: Choose a domain
name & find a place to put your site on
the internet.
35.
Publicity: Build traffic via
publicity the site.
36. As can be seen above, the
development process takes place
within the bounds of Business Goals
and User Needs. It is these that
initiate and guide the course of
planning, design, content, etc. Until
you explore your goals and users,
your website simply has no reason to
exist.
37. As such, the first step for creating
your website is to decide why you
want it and who you are making it
for.
