What is a web application and which language is the best for web application development?

A web application is a program that runs on a web server and can be accessed through a web browser. It allows users to interact with the application using a web interface. Web applications can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as online shopping, social networking, and project management.

When it comes to web application development, there are many programming languages to choose from. Some of the most popular languages for web development include:

JavaScript: JavaScript is a versatile language that can be used for both front-end and back-end development. It is commonly used to create dynamic and interactive web pages, and is supported by all major web browsers.

Python: Python is a popular language for back-end web development. It has a large number of libraries and frameworks that make it easy to build web applications quickly.

Ruby: Ruby is another popular language for back-end web development. It is often used with the Ruby on Rails framework, which is known for its ease of use and rapid development capabilities.

Java: Java is a well-established language that is often used for building large, complex web applications. It has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, and is supported by a wide range of platforms.

C#: C# is a language that is often used for developing web applications using the .NET framework. It is known for its strong type checking and object-oriented features, and is often used for building enterprise applications.

Ultimately, the best language for web application development depends on the specific requirements of the project, the developer's expertise and the framework that is being used. For example, if you are looking for a language that is easy to learn and has a lot of libraries and frameworks, Python and Ruby can be good options. If you are looking for a language that is widely supported and has a strong type checking, Java and C# are good options.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)?

That post from like a month ago (I was planning to write this the day after and then immediately forgot and this has been in drafts since lol) about web devs not having some basic knowledge of the web has been stuck in my brain for a while because they are correct as I said in the notes but it's the landscape of web dev right now that's causing it and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

I've been a professional Front End Dev for just over 7 years at this point (now a UX Dev working on a design system), and while I have a good chunk of experience under my belt, I've gotten to the point where I realize just how much shit I do not know and it's a LOOOOT.

The current landscape of web dev is that most projects and products are robust web apps that, in the absolute best case scenario, are gonna require, at minimum:

User experience research and work (UX)

User interface design (UI)

Front end with accessibility and mobile responsiveness (I am here)

Front end interactions and state management (JS engineers)

Backend database and API work

Backend infrastructure work (including setting up the dev and QA test environments)

QA testing

Developer experience to make sure devs/engineers are working efficiently with the tools they have

I'm sure I've missed some roles here, but you can see why people end up specializing when they work on bigger projects and products. The web is so unbelievably JavaScript heavy nowadays that all these specializations are Kind Of Required™, but that's absolute best case scenario. A lot of companies simply do not have the budget (or desire) to fill all these roles. So then you have a bunch of people who are kinda okay to mediocre at multiple of these things instead focusing on being good at one or two things. And then put in timeline requirements. AND THEN you have some companies who have different philosophies on how to build their core product: some are very UX focused and will put time into making sure that's present, others are not and will not care about UX in the slightest and thus those roles may not exist there at all. And...well things aren't going to be as quality as you expect when you consider all of those points.

The web is full of applications now that require a lot more expertise in different fields than just a basic static site with no data. That's not to say static sites don't exist or have no place anymore, tho. But this is where we are. It sucks.

CSS Positioning...

Today is the day I try my absolute best to focus on CSS flexbox.

Positioning in CSS is a complete guessing game to me currently, so today I'm going to specifically take the time to deep delve and try to fully understand what does what.

If you have any handy tips, I'd be grateful to hear them! Otherwise, I'll end up trying to make something that will hopefully make it easier to others too.

Wish me luck!

hey — i'm sorry if this question has been asked before. if it has, u can just link me to ur answer!

if you had to do your coding journey all over again, where would you start? what would you recommend to beginners?

Hiya!!

Yes, I have answered a similar question to this before, which you can view them here:

Ask link 1 | Ask link 2 | Ask link 3 | Ask link 4 | Ask link 5

Personally for me if I would start all over again, I would learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript then, after researching what area in programming I like (which would be web development and game development), I would learn some JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue. At the same time learning C# and Unity. The key part in what I just said is "after researching what area in programming I like" - find the niche you like and focus on the languages/frameworks/libraries etc you need to know to be very well in it.

Don't waste your time on things you don't need. Example: why would I learn about the data science side of programming? Right now it's not necessary for me to learn that... so I don't.

Don't know what you like and looking into having a job in programming? Look at the job listing's description of the kind of developer you want to be and look at what languages/frameworks/libraries they want you to know to apply. Obviously, you're not going to apply now but it gives you an idea of what the market is asking for.

As I explained in some of the asks I listed above, what I recommend for beginners all depends on what kind of programmer you want to be. But if you're confused and you're an absolute beginner, just try HTML, CSS and JavaScript as starters before having your full course meal, which would be the programming languages you researched that you need before the developer you want to be.

Here is a cool link that I am using currently to help me stay on track with different developer paths you could follow:

Roadmap.sh [LINK] - a community effort to create roadmaps, guides and other educational content to help guide the developers in picking up the path and guiding their learnings.

I hope this helps!! Good luck with your studies!

The Comprehensive Guide to Web Development, Data Management, and More 

Introduction 

Everything today is technology driven in this digital world. There's a lot happening behind the scenes when you use your favorite apps, go to websites, and do other things with all of those zeroes and ones — or binary data. In this blog, I will be explaining what all these terminologies really means and other basics of web development, data management etc. We will be discussing them in the simplest way so that this becomes easy to understand for beginners or people who are even remotely interested about technology.  JOIN US

What is Web Development? 

Web development refers to the work and process of developing a website or web application that can run in a web browser. From laying out individual web page designs before we ever start coding, to how the layout will be implemented through HTML/CSS. There are two major fields of web development — front-end and back-end. 

Front-End Development 

Front-end development, also known as client-side development, is the part of web development that deals with what users see and interact with on their screens. It involves using languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the visual elements of a website, such as buttons, forms, and images. JOIN US

HTML (HyperText Markup Language): 

HTML is the foundation of all website, it helps one to organize their content on web platform. It provides the default style to basic elements such as headings, paragraphs and links. 

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):  

styles and formats HTML elements. It makes an attractive and user-friendly look of webpage as it controls the colors, fonts, layout. 

JavaScript :  

A language for adding interactivity to a website Users interact with items, like clicking a button to send in a form or viewing images within the slideshow. JOIN US

Back-End Development 

The difference while front-end development is all about what the user sees, back end involves everything that happens behind. The back-end consists of a server, database and application logic that runs on the web. 

Server: 

A server is a computer that holds website files and provides them to the user browser when they request it. Server-Side: These are populated by back-end developers who build and maintain servers using languages like Python, PHP or Ruby. 

Database:  

The place where a website keeps its data, from user details to content and settings The database is maintained with services like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB. JOIN US

Application Logic —  

the code that links front-end and back-end It takes user input, gets data from the database and returns right informations to front-end area. 

Why Proper Data Management is Absolutely Critical 

Data management — Besides web development this is the most important a part of our Digital World. What Is Data Management? It includes practices, policies and procedures that are used to collect store secure data in controlled way. 

Data Storage –  

data after being collected needs to be stored securely such data can be stored in relational databases or cloud storage solutions. The most important aspect here is that the data should never be accessed by an unauthorized source or breached. JOIN US

Data processing:  

Right from storing the data, with Big Data you further move on to process it in order to make sense out of hordes of raw information. This includes cleansing the data (removing errors or redundancies), finding patterns among it, and producing ideas that could be useful for decision-making. 

Data Security:  

Another important part of data management is the security of it. It refers to defending data against unauthorized access, breaches or other potential vulnerabilities. You can do this with some basic security methods, mostly encryption and access controls as well as regular auditing of your systems. 

Other Critical Tech Landmarks 

There are a lot of disciplines in the tech world that go beyond web development and data management. Here are a few of them: 

Cloud Computing 

Leading by example, AWS had established cloud computing as the on-demand delivery of IT resources and applications via web services/Internet over a decade considering all layers to make it easy from servers up to top most layer. This will enable organizations to consume technology resources in the form of pay-as-you-go model without having to purchase, own and feed that infrastructure. JOIN US

Cloud Computing Advantages:  

Main advantages are cost savings, scalability, flexibility and disaster recovery. Resources can be scaled based on usage, which means companies only pay for what they are using and have the data backed up in case of an emergency. 

Examples of Cloud Services: 

Few popular cloud services are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. These provide a plethora of services that helps to Develop and Manage App, Store Data etc. 

Cybersecurity 

As the world continues to rely more heavily on digital technologies, cybersecurity has never been a bigger issue. Protecting computer systems, networks and data from cyber attacks is called Cyber security. 

Phishing attacks, Malware, Ransomware and Data breaches: 

This is common cybersecurity threats. These threats can bear substantial ramifications, from financial damages to reputation harm for any corporation. 

Cybersecurity Best Practices:  

In order to safeguard against cybersecurity threats, it is necessary to follow best-practices including using strong passwords and two-factor authorization, updating software as required, training employees on security risks. 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) represent the fastest-growing fields of creating systems that learn from data, identifying patterns in them. These are applied to several use-cases like self driving cars, personalization in Netflix. 

AI vs ML —  

AI is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks in a way we would consider “smart”. Machine learning is a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. JOIN US

Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: some common applications include Image recognition, Speech to text, Natural language processing, Predictive analytics Robotics. 

Web Development meets Data Management etc. 

We need so many things like web development, data management and cloud computing plus cybersecurity etc.. but some of them are most important aspects i.e. AI/ML yet more fascinating is where these fields converge or play off each other. 

Web Development and Data Management 

Web Development and Data Management goes hand in hand. The large number of websites and web-based applications in the world generate enormous amounts of data — from user interactions, to transaction records. Being able to manage this data is key in providing a fantastic user experience and enabling you to make decisions based on the right kind of information. 

E.g. E-commerce Website, products data need to be saved on server also customers data should save in a database loosely coupled with orders and payments. This data is necessary for customization of the shopping experience as well as inventory management and fraud prevention. 

Cloud Computing and Web Development 

The development of the web has been revolutionized by cloud computing which gives developers a way to allocate, deploy and scale applications more or less without service friction. Developers now can host applications and data in cloud services instead of investing for physical servers. 

E.g. A start-up company can use cloud services to roll out the web application globally in order for all users worldwide could browse it without waiting due unavailability of geolocation prohibited access. 

The Future of Cybersecurity and Data Management 

Which makes Cybersecurity a very important part of the Data management. The more data collected and stored by an organization, the greater a target it becomes for cyber threats. It is important to secure this data using robust cybersecurity measures, so that sensitive information remains intact and customer trust does not weaken. JOIN US

Ex: A healthcare provider would have to protect patient data in order to be compliant with regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) that is also responsible for ensuring a degree of confidentiality between a provider and their patients. 

Conclusion 

Well, in a nutshell web-developer or Data manager etc are some of the integral parts for digital world.

As a Business Owner, Tech Enthusiast or even if you are just planning to make your Career in tech — it is important that you understand these. With the progress of technology never slowing down, these intersections are perhaps only going to come together more strongly and develop into cornerstones that define how we live in a digital world tomorrow. 

With the fundamental knowledge of web development, data management, automation and ML you will manage to catch up with digital movements. Whether you have a site to build, ideas data to manage or simply interested in what’s hot these days, skills and knowledge around the above will stand good for changing tech world. JOIN US

I guess I really just wanted to start this side blog as a place to post about my coding journey and small little life things. I'm learning to code through multiple different sources and am currently focusing on HTML, CSS and Javascript...the main big three for frontend web development. I know there are lots more to look through, especially when I want to progress to backend...but for now, I need to focus on one thing at a time.

This isn't going to be an overnight thing, I know that for sure. It's a long journey I have ahead of me and I'm only a couple of weeks in, but I hope someday, I can look back and think 'Look at how far I've come on my coding journey'.

[snowcodes]

A little about me!

I'm learning to code through multiple means and websites, and I'm currently focusing on:

*HTML, CSS & Javascript (Harnessing those basics for Web dev) *Python (For my 8 month course that starts in January) In the near future, I hope to learn C#, so I can look into .ASP NET too! I'm hoping to become a junior Software Engineer or Developer this time next year.

I have a couple of side hobbies, learning the violin takes place over at @viowlett. I've recently started that and hope learning coding and violin side by side will keep my brain busy!

What’s the Difference Between Front-End and Back-End Development? 

Web development is all about building websites and applications, and it’s divided into two main parts: front-end and back-end development. These two work together to make websites look good and function properly, but they have different tasks, tools, and skills. Let’s explore the differences in a simple way.

What is Front-End Development?

Front-end development is everything on a website or app that you can see and click on, like buttons, images, text, and menus. It’s all about making the website look nice and easy to use, so users can easily navigate and interact with it.

Example: When you visit a website and click on a button, the design you see and the way the button works is the result of front-end development.

Key Responsibilities of a Front-End Developer

Designing the user interface (UI): Creating how the website looks and making sure it's easy to use.

Making designs work on all devices: Ensuring the website looks good on phones, tablets, and computers.

Adding interactivity: Making the website interactive with things like buttons, menus, and animations.

Languages and Frameworks

Core Languages

HTML: Builds the structure of a website.

CSS: Styles the website with colors, fonts, and layout.

JavaScript: Adds interactivity like dropdowns and sliders.

Frameworks and Libraries

React.js: Used for building dynamic websites.

Angular: A powerful tool for building complex apps.

Vue.js: A simple and flexible tool for modern websites.

Bootstrap: Helps design websites that work well on all devices.

What is Back-End Development?

Back-end development is everything that happens behind the scenes on a website. It makes sure the website works properly by managing things like data storage and the server. When you do something on a website, like clicking a button or submitting a form, the back-end makes sure the right information is processed and sent where it needs to go.

Example: When you log into a website, the back-end makes sure your username and password are correct, finds your information in a storage system, and lets you into your account.

Key Responsibilities of a Back-End Developer

Managing Data: A back-end developer makes sure that data is stored safely and can be retrieved when needed.

Writing Code for the Server: They write the instructions that tell the website how to process actions, like when a user submits a form.

Making the Website Fast and Safe: They ensure the website works quickly and securely, protecting it from potential problems.

Languages and Frameworks

Core Languages

Python: Easy to learn and used with frameworks like Django and Flask.

Java: Great for large applications, often used with the Spring Boot framework.

PHP: Used for creating dynamic websites, with Laravel as a key framework.

Ruby: Often used with the Ruby on Rails framework for quick development.

JavaScript (Node.js): Allows developers to use JavaScript for both the front-end and back-end.

C#: Often used with ASP.NET for building web applications.

Databases

SQL-Based: Like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server for structured data.

NoSQL-Based: Like MongoDB, Cassandra, and DynamoDB for unstructured data.

The Connection Between Front-End and Back-End

Front-end and back-end work together to ensure the website functions correctly:

Front-End Role: When you visit an education website, the front-end shows you things like course listings, a search bar, and a login form to register or sign in.

Back-End Role: When you search for a course or log in, the back-end processes your request, checks the available courses in the database, and verifies your login details.

Front-End Role: After the back-end processes everything, the front-end shows you the list of courses or confirms your login and takes you to your student dashboard.

For example, when you want to enroll in a course, the front-end displays the course options. Once you select a course, the back-end checks if you're eligible, processes your enrollment, and confirms it. The front-end then shows your updated enrollment status.

Skills Required

Front-End Developer Skills

Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Knowledge of front-end frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js.

Experience with responsive and accessible design.

Basic understanding of back-end APIs for better integration.

Back-End Developer Skills

Knowledge of server-side programming languages like Python, Java, or PHP.

Familiarity with frameworks like Django, Flask, or Node.js.

Experience with databases (SQL and NoSQL).

Understanding of APIs, security practices, and server management.

Which One You Should Choose?

Choose Front-End Development if you enjoy creating visually appealing websites and focusing on how users interact with them. You’ll work on designs, layouts, and make sure everything looks good and functions smoothly for the user.

Opt for Back-End Development if you enjoy problem-solving, working with data, and focusing on how everything behind the scenes works. You’ll deal with servers, databases, and ensuring the website runs efficiently.

Consider Full-Stack Development if you're interested in both the front-end and back-end. You’ll get to work on all parts of a website, from what users see to how the data is managed and processed.
