Empowering The Web - Harnessing Technology To Create Impactful Experiences
Empowering The Web - Harnessing Technology To Create Impactful Experiences
Web technology is the use of hypertext markup language (HTML) and cascading style sheets
(CSS). . Categorized into generations, from Web 1.0 to Web 5.0, the web’s progress symbolizes
a major shift in technology and usage. Web 1.0 consists of read-only pages, while Web 2.0
enables social networking and user-generated content.
The mobile web is the use of the internet through mobile devices like smartphones and
tablets. Mobile internet use bypassed regular forms of internet access back in 2014 and has
only been increasing since Feb 2022. Access to the mobile web was first commercially offered
in 1996, in Finland, on the Nokia 9000 communicator phone via the Radiolinja networks. The
first commercial launch of a mobile-specific browser-based web service was in 1999 in Japan
when i-mode was launched by NTT DOCOMO.
Cloud computing refers to the internet-based computing systems used to deliver applications
between computers through the internet. It is the delivery of computing services- including
servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence –over the Internet
to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
Consumers and businesses can use the cloud to store data and applications and can interact
with the cloud using mobiles, desktop computers, laptops, etc.
There are three types of cloud computing services: public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid
cloud. Within these deployment models, there are four main services: infrastructure as a
service (las), platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and serverless
computing.
WHAT ARE THE CORE TECHNOLOGIES EMPOWERING THE WEB?
Core technology means any technology owned or licensed by a licensor that may be combined
with the Licensee’s technology for sale as the ‘’product’’. It is an intravascular, intraluminal, or
intertissued miniature magnetic resonance coil detection as described in the patent rights.
1. FRONT-END TECHNOLOGIES
IMPACT OF FRONT-END
● Front-end development works with the UX team to help add new features to a website or
improve the current usability of a design.
HTMML5- defines the structure of the content, CSS determines the style and layout and
javascript makes the content interactive: therefore it makes more sense to learn them in order.
Javascript incorporates valuable skills such as object-oriented, functional, and imperative styles
of programming.
Responsive design works well for larger sites that are being built from scratch. Whereas
adaptive design works well for smaller sites that are being refreshed..it relies on changing the
design pattern to fit the real estate available to it, adaptive design has multiple fixed layout
sizes. When the site detects the available space, it selects the layout most appropriate for the
screen.
2. BACK-END TECHNOLOGIES
Back-end technologies refer to the programming languages used in web development to create
and manage a website or application. They are responsible for the ‘’behind the scenes’’ work,
like storing data, managing user authentication, and providing APIs for front-end applications.
IMPACT OF BACKEND
● Backend technologies play a polar part in formative the performance, security, and
functionality of applications.
● Their scalability, performance, and API support collectively bestow to creating a robust
and reliable backend infrastructure.
A. SERVER-SIDE LANGUAGES
Server-side languages play a vital role in modern web development, empowering developers to
create dynamic and interactive websites. They provide the means to process user requests,
interact with databases, and generate personalised content. They allow one to instead store the
information in a database and dynamically construct and return HTML and other types of files.
The database hives away information about the users, products, orders, and more. A database
is an essential component of any web application because it provides a central location for
sorting user information and business logic.
Microservices are an architectural approach that composes software into small, independent,
highly specialised services. Each microservice solves a single problem or performs a specific
task. In contrast, an API is a contract of communication between two software components.
3. EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
Emerging technologies are technologies whose development, and practical applications are
both still largely unrealized. These technologies are generally new but also include older
technologies finding new applications. They are often perceived as capable of changing the
status quo.
AI in web development is often used for automatic user behaviour analysis. using AI-powered
recommendation systems, one may attract visitors by offering them an engaging user
experience.
Augmented reality or AR involves the consolidation of digital components into the real world,
augmenting the user's sensory experience. On the flip side, virtual reality or VR engulfs users in
entirely virtual environments, offering a complete departure from the physical world.
C. BLOCKCHAIN AND DECENTRALISED WEB
Blockchain is a decentralised and distributed digital technology that is used for recording
transactions across many computers so that the records cannot be altered by someone without
changing the subsequent blocks and without the consequence of networks.
In conclusion, the empowerment of the web through the harnessing of cutting-edge technology
has Fundamentally transformed how impactful experiences are created and delivered. The
evolution from static web 1.0 pages to the dynamic, interactive, and intelligent web
environments one experiences today highlights the significant strides made in web
technologies.
