This covers everything from coding and markup as well as scripting, configuration of networks along with CMS development. In this article we'll discuss the fundamentals of web development and the process of creating websites, as well as other information for those wanting to understand more about the development process or to become a developer.
- 2. Although web development is usually referred to web markup and programming Web development covers the entire development process, including client-side scripting server-side scripting, server and network security configurations, development of e-commerce and the development of a content managing system (CMS) design. Why is web development crucial? The internet has no end. It's become the main principal method of connection, research to education, entertainment, and research around the globe. In 2021 the number of internet users was 4.66 billion Internet users around the world that is more than half the population of the world. With the ever-growing number of users on the internet It's not a surprise that development of web-based applications is a rapidly growing industry. Web developers' jobs are projected to grow by 13 percent by 2030. This is faster than other tech-related careers. In the next part we'll address some of the most frequently asked questions related to web development. • What's the web page? • What is an IP address? • What's the HTTP protocol? • What does the word "coding" mean? • Front-end is what it's all about. • The back-end of HTML0. • What exactly is CMS? • What is cybersecurity? After we've established the definition of the term "web development," let's look at some of the fundamentals of web development. What's the web page? Browsers are computer applications that load web pages via the internet, for instance Google Chrome or Internet Explorer The computers that are which access the web pages are referred to by the name of "clients". Websites store files in servers. Servers are computers which host (a fancy word for "store documents for") web pages. The servers are connected to a massive network known as the Internet. What is an IP address? You can locate the IP address of a website on a site such as Site 24/7. You can also use the command line on Windows as well as Network Utility > Traceroute on MacBooks. Traceroute

While you can visit websites using their IP address, the majority of Internet users prefer using the domain name or search engine. To be able to access a website you'll need to identify the IP address. A IP address can be described as a distinct number. Every device has an IP address that allows it to differentiate it from the millions of connected devices and websites to Internet. What's the HTTP protocol? If you enter a URL into your browser, or type in a query using a Google search, HTTP provides a framework to ensure that both you (computer) and the server communicate in the same language when sending requests and replies to each other on the Internet. It's a translator between your computer and the internet. It takes your web request and then reads the message returned by the server and translates it into web-based format. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connects you and your query to the remote server which includes all web-related data. It is an established set of regulations (protocol) which define the manner in which messages are sent via the Internet. It permits you to move between web pages and websites. What is coding? Every software program is written in at least one language for coding The languages are different depending on the operating system, platform and even style. Every language is classified into two categories: back-end and front-end. Coding is the act of creating code for servers and applications that use programming languages. They are known as "languages" since they have grammar rules and vocabulary for interacting with computers. They also have special commands, shortcuts and punctuation which are only understood by computers and devices. What is Front-end? The front-end code lets visitors to use the website to play and stream videos. extend or reduce the images and highlight certain text and much more. Web developers working on front-end code are involved in client-side development. The front-end, also known as the client-side, is the part of a software or website that you communicate with when you are you are an Internet user. The information on a web page is transmitted through the servers to your browsers, it uses leading programming languages let the website page work without the need to "communicate" via the Internet. What is back-end?
- 4. "The back end" (or the server side) is the part that you can't see when using the Internet. It's the digital infrastructure. to those who aren't developers, it appears like a collection of letters, numbers, and symbols. There are a lot more back-end programming languages than front-end language. This is due to the fact that browsers - at the front end can only comprehend HTML, CSS, and JavaScript However, servers - on the backend - can be equipped to comprehend any languages. What exactly is CMS? A CMS (content management system) (CMS) is an application on the web or a set of software used to make and manage web content. (Note: CMSs are not the same as web builders such as Squarespace.) Although it's not mandatory to build an online site, using a CMS simplifies the process. It offers elements (such as add-ons and plugins) and lets you build the structure using the help of your code. CMSs are typically used to facilitate blogging and e-commerce however they can be used for all kinds of websites. What is Cyber Security? There always are malicious actors looking for holes in websites to reveal private information, take data, or even destroy servers. Cybersecurity is the process of protecting networks, data and computers from such dangers. The techniques used by hackers change constantly, so do the methods used that protect against their attacks. If you don't know the methods by which your website can be targeted by hackers could result in disastrous consequences. In the end an understanding of the best practices for cybersecurity is crucial to successful web development. Also, you should regularly conduct security audits. The different types of web development that you can be skilled in. • Web Development Types • Front-end Development • Front-end Development • Complete Stack Development • Web Development • Desktop Development Desktop Development • Mobile Development • Game Development Game Design • HTML1 Development Embedded • Security Development If you're looking to become or hire the web designer, it is important to know the different kinds of development for web that professionals are able to manage.
- 5. The different kinds of web development mostly relate to different areas of the field that web developers are able to be employed.

Front-end Development Front-end developers are responsible for the user or client side of websites, applications and software, or in terms of what the users are able to see. They create and design visual elements, which include layout navigation, graphics, as well as other aesthetics. The main task of the designers is to develop interfaces that aid users in reaching their objectives, therefore they are often involved in the user experience component in their work. back-end development If the front-end is what people see, the backend is what they do not see. Back-end web developers software, and software to ensure that everything is running smoothly behind the backend. They work with platforms like operating systems, servers APIs, databases, and servers and handle codes that controls security, information and site architecture. They work with the top developers to provide their services to customers. Complete Stack Development Full stack developers handle both the front-end as well as back-end side of a website. They are able to create an app, website or software application from beginning to end. "Stack" is a reference to various technologies that perform different functions of the same website like frontend, server, and so on. Since full-stack developers need years of experience in the field to acquire the experience needed and expertise, their services are often sought-after. Their diverse knowledge can help them improve performance, spot issues before they become a problem and assist team members to understand the different aspects of a website service. Web Development Developers of websitescan include front-end backend, and full-stack designers . However, they specialize in the creation of websites, and not desktop software, mobile applications and video games. Desktop Development Desktop developers are specialized in the creation of software programs running locally on the device instead of being accessible via the Internet through web browsers. Sometimes, the capabilities of these programmers are comparable to those of web developers when the program can run offline and online.
- 6. Mobile Development Mobile developers develop applications for mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. Mobile apps work in a different manner than other websites or software programs, which means that they require an entirely different set of abilities in development as well as knowledge of specific programming languages. Mobile developers develop applications for mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. Mobile apps operate in a different manner than other websites and software applications and require distinct expertise in development and special programming languages. Game Development Game Design Game developers specialize in writing code for video games, including console games (Xbox, PlayStation, etc. ) PC games and mobile games, meaning that their specialization is in some way in mobile game development. Embedded Development Embedded developers are able to work using any device that's not an actual computer (or at least what the majority people consider to be "computers" which include a keyboard and screen). This is the case with electronics, devices for consumers IoT devices as well as real-time systems and many more. In the wake of recent increases on the amount of devices connected such as smart devices, Bluetooth technologies, and virtual assistants embedded development is becoming an increasingly desirable option. Security Development Security professionals develop strategies and methods to protect websites or software.
