Web Application Development
Web application development is the process of creating software applications that run on web browsers. Unlike traditional desktop applications, web apps are accessible from any device with an internet connection, making them highly flexible and user-friendly.
Key Aspects:
- Frontend Development – Focuses on user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) using technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js.
- Backend Development – Manages server-side logic, databases, and authentication using languages like Node.js, Python, PHP, or Ruby.
- Database Management – Uses databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB to store and retrieve data.
- Cloud & Hosting – Deploys applications on platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for scalability and security.
Types of Web Applications:
- Static Web Apps – Simple, with fixed content (e.g., portfolios, blogs).
- Dynamic Web Apps – Interactive and database-driven (e.g., social media, e-commerce).
- Single-Page Applications (SPAs) – Load content dynamically without refreshing (e.g., Gmail, Trello).
- Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) – Provide a mobile-like experience with offline capabilities.
