WEB DEVELOPMENT

ABSTRACT
 CHAPTER 1

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Web development is the work involved in developing a website for the Internet
(World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). Web development can range from
developing a simple single static page of plain text to complex web 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, client-side/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 Web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development may use content
management systems (CMS) to make content changes easier and available with basic
technical skills.
For larger organizations and businesses, Web development teams can consist of
hundreds of people (Web developers) and follow standard methods like Agile methodologies
while developing Web sites. Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or
contracting developer, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic
designer or information systems technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort
between departments rather than the domain of a designated department. There are three
kinds of Web developer specialization: front-end developer, back-end developer, and full-
stack developer. Front-end developers are responsible for behavior and visuals that run in the
user browser, while back-end developers deal with the servers. Since the commercialization
of the Web, the industry has boomed and has become one of the most used technologies ever.

Web development could be a good profession for you if you like solving logical
problems, building useful things, and experimenting with new technologies. Web developers
are in high demand, generally have a good work/life balance, and command comfortable
salaries. Google your specific location to get a better sense of your local web development
job opportunities.
1.2 HISTORY

1.2.1 Origin/ Web 1.0

 Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web in 1989 at CERN.

 The primary goal in the development of the Web was to fulfill the automated
information-sharing needs of academics affiliated with institutions and various global
organizations. Consequently, HTML was developed in 1990.
 Web 1.0 is described as the first paradigm wherein users could only view material and
provide a small amount of information. Core protocols of web 1.0 were HTTP, HTML
and URI.
 You can still visit the first web page today by clicking here
(http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject. html).

1.2.2 Web 2.0

 Web 2.0, a term coined by O'Reilly vice president Dale Dougherty during a 2004
conference with Media Live, marks a shift in internet usage that emphasizes
interactivity.
 Web 2.0 introduced increased user engagement and communication. It evolved from
the static, read-only nature of Web 1.0 and became an integrated network for
engagement and communication. It is often referred to as a user-focused, read-write
online network.
 In the realm of Web 2.0 environments, users now have access to a platform that
encourages sharing activities such as creating music, files, images, and movies. The
architecture of Web 2.0 is often considered the "backbone of the internet," using
standardized XML (Extensible Markup Language) tags to authorize information flow
from independent platforms and online databases.

1.2.3 Web 3.0

 Web 3.0, considered the third and current version of the web, was introduced in 2014.
The concept envisions a complete redesign of the web. Key features include the
integration of metadata, precise information delivery, and improved user experiences
based on preferences, history, and interests.
 Web 3.0 aims to turn the web into a sizable, organized database, providing more
functionality than traditional search engines. Users can customize navigation based on
 their preferences, and the core ideas involve identifying data sources, connecting them
for efficiency, and creating user profiles.
 This version is sometimes also known as Semantic Web.
 However, Web 3.0 poses challenges, such as the need for advanced web design
expertise, difficulty in identifying a user's ID, and increased client requests to servers,
making it more complex to build an intelligent web.

1.2.4. Web 4.0

 Web 4.0 is presented as the most advanced web technology with intelligent and highly
interactive features. Web 4.0 is also known as symbiotic web. Web 4.0 is still in its
early stages, yet it has already had a significant impact on how people use the World
Wide Web. Web 4.0 aims to be an all-encompassing technology, merging the best
features of Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.
 The primary goals of the fourth generation of the web include enhancing usability and
engagement by refining web pages, making them easier to navigate, and incorporating
features for user interaction. Web
 4.0 aims to increase everyone's access to the Internet, including those with disabilities
who can use assistive technologies for easier access to web content.
1.3 EVOLUTION OF WEB DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES

The journey of web development technologies began with simple HTML pages in the
early days of the internet. Over time, advancements led to the incorporation of CSS for
styling and JavaScript for interactivity. This evolution transformed static websites into
dynamic and responsive platforms, setting the stage for the complex and feature-rich web
applications we have today.

 Static HTML Pages (1990s)

 Introduction of CSS (late 1990s)
 JavaScript and Dynamic HTML (late 1990s - early 2000s)
 AJAX (Early 2000s)
 Rise of Content Management Systems (CMS) (mid-2000s)
 Mobile Web (late 2000s - 2010s)
 Single Page Applications (SPAs) and Front-End Frameworks (2010s)
 Server-Side JavaScript (2010s)
 Microservices and API-Driven Development (2010s - Present)
 Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) (2010s - Present)
 JAMstack Architecture (2010s - Present)
 WebAssembly (Wasm) (2010s - Present)
 Serverless Architecture (2010s - Present)
 AI and Machine Learning Integration (2010s - Present)

Web development in future will be driven by advances in browser technology, Web

internet infrastructure, protocol standards, software engineering methods, and application
trends.
 CHAPTER 2

WEB DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE

The Web Development Life Cycle is a method that outlines the stages involved in
building websites and web applications. It provides a structured approach, ensuring optimal
results throughout the development process.

A typical Web Development process can be divided into 7 steps-

1. Analysis

Debra Howcraft and John Carroll proposed a methodology in which web development
process can be divided into sequential steps. They mentioned different aspects of analysis.

Phase One involves crafting a web strategy and analyzing how a website can effectively
achieve its goals. Keil et al's research identifies the primary reasons for software project
failures as a lack of top management commitment and misunderstandings of system
requirements. To mitigate these risks, Phase One establishes strategic goals and objectives,
designing a system to fulfill them. The decision to establish a web presence should ideally
align with the organization's corporate information strategy.

The analysis phase can be divided into 3 steps-

 Development of a Web Strategy

 Defining Objectives
 Objective Analysis

During this phase, the previously outlined objectives and available resources undergo
analysis to determine their feasibility. This analysis is divided into six tasks, as follows:

 Technology Analysis: Identification of all necessary technological components and

tools for constructing, hosting, and supporting the site.
 Information Analysis: Identification of user-required information, whether static
(web page) or dynamic (pulled "live" from a database server).
 Skills Analysis: Identification of the diverse skill sets necessary to complete the
project.
 User Analysis: Identification of all intended users of the site, a more intricate process
due to the varied range of users and technologies they may use.
  Cost Analysis: Estimation of the development cost for the site or an evaluation of
what is achievable within a predefined budget.
 Risk Analysis: Examination of any major risks associated with site development.

Following this analysis, a more refined set of objectives is documented. Objectives

that cannot be presently fulfilled are recorded in a Wish List, constituting part of the
Objectives Document. This documentation becomes integral to the iterative process during
the subsequent cycle of the methodology.

2. Planning- Sitemap and Wireframe

It is crucial for web developers to be engaged in formulating a plan and determining

the optimal architecture and selecting the frameworks. Additionally, developers/consultants
play a role in elucidating the total cost of ownership associated with supporting a website,
which may surpass the initial development expenses.

Key aspects in this step are-

 Sitemap Creation
 Wireframe Creation
 Tech Stack

3. Design and Layout

Following the analysis phase, the development process moves on to the design phase,
which is guided by the Objectives Document. Recognizing the incremental growth of
websites and the potential lack of good design architecture, the methodology includes
iteration to account for changes and additions over the life of the site. The design phase,
which is divided into Information Design and Graphic Design, results in a detailed Design
Document that details the structure of the website, database data structures, and CGI scripts.

The following step, Design Testing, focuses on early, low-cost testing to identify
inconsistencies or flaws in the design. This entails comparing the website's design to the
goals and objectives outlined in the first three steps. Phases One and Two involve an iterative
loop in which objectives in the Objectives Document are revisited to ensure alignment with
the design. Any objectives that are removed are added to the Wish List for future
consideration.
Key aspects in this step are-

 Page Layouts
 Review
 Approval

4. Content Creation

No matter how visually appealing your website is, good communication with your
clients is critical. The primary purpose of content production is to create a communication
channel through the user interface by delivering relevant information about your firm in an
engaging and easily understandable manner. This includes:

 Developing appealing calls to action

 Making creative headlines
 Content formatting for readability
 Carrying out line editing
 Text updating throughout the site development process.

5. Development

During this critical stage, the website is built while keeping its fundamental goal in
mind, paying close attention to all graphic components to assure the establishment of a
completely working site.

The procedure begins with the development of the main page, which is followed by
the production of interior pages. The site's navigational structure is being refined in particular.

During this development phase, key functionality such as the Content Management
System, interactive contact forms, and shopping carts are activated.

The coding process includes creating all of the site's software and installing it on the
appropriate Web servers. This can range from simple things like posting to a Web server to
more complex tasks like establishing database connections. The stage of content production is
critical in establishing the branding and marketing of your website or web application. It
serves as a platform for defining the purpose and goals of your online presence through
compelling and convincing content.

6. Testing, Review and Launch

In any web project, the testing phase is incredibly intricate and difficult. Because web
apps are frequently designed for a diverse and often unknown user base running in a range of
technological environments, their complexity exceeds that of traditional Information Systems
(IS). To ensure maximum reach and efficacy, the website must be tested in a variety of
contexts and technologies. The website moves to the delivery stage after gaining final
approval from the designer. To ensure its preparation for launch, the quality assurance team
performs rigorous testing for functionality, compatibility, and performance.

Additional testing is carried out, including integration, stress, scalability, load,

resolution, and cross-browser compatibility. When the approval is given, the website is
pushed to the server via FTP, completing the development process.

Key aspects in this step are-

 Test Lost Links

 Use code validators
 Check Browser

7. Maintenance and Updating

The web development process goes beyond deployment to include a variety of post-
deployment tasks.

Websites, in example, are frequently under ongoing maintenance, with new items
being uploaded on a daily basis. The maintenance costs increase immensely as the site grows
in size. The accuracy of content on a website is critical, demanding continuous monitoring to
verify that both information and links, particularly external links, are updated. Adjustments
are made in response to user feedback, and regular support and maintenance actions are
carried out to maintain the website's long-term effectiveness.
 CHAPTER 3

TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Debra Howcraft and John Carroll discussed a few traditional web development
methodologies in their research paper:

1. Waterfall: The waterfall methodology comprises a sequence of cascading steps,

addressing the development process with minimal iteration between each stage.
However, a significant drawback when applying the waterfall methodology to the
development of websites (as well as information systems) lies in its rigid structure,
lacking iteration beyond adjacent stages. Any methodology used for the development
of Web-sites must be flexible enough to cope with change.
2. Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM): Structured Systems
Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) is a widely used methodology for systems
analysis and design in information systems and software engineering. Although it
does not cover the entire lifecycle of a development project, it places a strong
emphasis on the stages of analysis and design in the hopes of minimizing later-stage,
expensive errors and omissions.
3. Prototyping: Prototyping is a software development approach in which a preliminary
version of a system or application is built to visualize and test its key functionalities.
The prototype serves as a tangible representation of the final product, allowing
stakeholders, including users and developers, to interact with it and provide feedback.
4. Rapid Application Development: Rapid Application Development (RAD) is a
software development methodology that prioritizes speed and flexibility in the
development process. It is designed to produce high-quality systems quickly,
primarily through the use of iterative prototyping and the involvement of end-users.
RAD aims to reduce the time it takes to develop a system and increase the
adaptability to changing requirements.
5. Incremental Prototyping: Incremental prototyping is a software development
approach that combines the principles of prototyping and incremental development. In
this methodology, the development process is divided into small increments, with
each increment building upon the functionality of the previous one. At the same time,
prototypes are created and refined in each increment to better meet user requirements
and expectations.
 CHAPTER 4
KEY TECHNOLOGIES
Developing a fundamental knowledge of client-side and server-side dynamics is
crucial.

The goal of front-end development is to create a website's user interface and visual
components that users may interact with directly. On the other hand, back-end development
works with databases, server-side logic, and application functionality. Building reliable and
user-friendly online applications requires a comprehensive approach, which is ensured by
collaboration between front-end and back-end engineers.

4.1 FRONT-END DEVELOPMENTS

Front-end development is the process of designing and implementing the user
interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of a web application. It involves creating visually
appealing and interactive elements that users interact with directly. The primary technologies
and concepts associated with front-end development include:

4.1.1 Technologies
The 3 core technologies for front- end development are-
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)- HTML provides the structure and organization of
content
on a webpage.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheet)- Responsible for styling and layout, CSS enhances the
presentation
of HTML elements, making the application visually appealing.
JavaScript- It is used to add interactions to the web pages. Advancement in JavaScript has
given
rise to many popular front- end frameworks like React, Angular and Vue.js etc.

User interface design

User experience design focuses on creating interfaces that are intuitive, accessible, and
enjoyable
for users. It involves understanding user behavior, conducting usability studies, and
implementing
design principles to enhance the overall satisfaction of users interacting with a website or
application. This involves wireframing, prototyping, and implementing design principles to
enhance
user interaction. Some of the popular tools used for UI Wireframing are -
Key technologies in web development
Sketch for detailed, vector-based design
Moqups for beginners
Figma for a free wireframe app
UXPin for handing off design documentation to developers
MockFlow for project organization
Justinmind for interactive wireframes
Uizard for AI-assisted wireframing
Another key aspect to keep in mind while designing is Web Accessibility- Web accessibility
ensures
that digital content is available and usable for people of all abilities. This involves adhering to
standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), implementing features
like
alternative text for images, and designing with considerations for diverse user needs,
including
those with disabilities.

Responsive design
It is important to ensure that web applications are accessible and visually appealing across
various
devices and screen sizes. Responsive design uses CSS media queries and flexible layouts to
adapt
to different viewing environments.

Front-end frameworks
A framework is a high-level solution for the reuse of software pieces, a step forward in
simple
library-based reuse that allows for sharing common functions and generic logic of a domain
application.[19]
Frameworks and libraries are essential tools that expedite the development process. These
tools
enhance developer productivity and contribute to the maintainability of large-scale
applications.
Some popular front-end frameworks are:
React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces, maintained by Facebook. It allows
developers to create reusable UI components.

Angular: A TypeScript-based front-end framework developed and maintained by Google. It

provides a comprehensive solution for building dynamic single-page applications.

Vue.js: A progressive JavaScript framework that is approachable yet powerful, making it

easy to
integrate with other libraries or existing projects.

State management

Managing the state of a web application to ensure data consistency and responsiveness. State
management libraries like Redux (for React) or Vuex (for Vue.js) play a crucial role in
complex
applications.
Back-end development
Back-end development involves building the server-side logic and database components of a
web
application. It is responsible for processing user requests, managing data, and ensuring the
overall
functionality of the application. Key aspects of back-end development include:

Server/ cloud instance

An essential component of the architecture of a web application is a server or cloud instance.
cloud instance is a virtual server instance that can be accessed via the Internet and is created,
delivered, and hosted on a public or private cloud. It functions as a physical server that may
seamlessly move between various devices with ease or set up several instances on one server.
It is
therefore very dynamic, scalable, and economical.

Databases
Database management is crucial for storing, retrieving, and managing data in web
applications.
Various database systems, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, play distinct roles
in
organizing and structuring data. Effective database management ensures the responsiveness
and
efficiency of data-driven web applications. There are 3 types of databases:
Relational databases: Structured databases that use tables to organize and relate data.
Common
Examples include - MySQL, PostgreSQL and many more.

NoSQL databases: NoSQL databases are designed to handle unstructured or semi-structured

data and can be more flexible than relational databases. They come in various types, such as
document-oriented, key-value stores, column-family stores, and graph databases. Examples:
MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB, Redis.

Document stores: Document stores store data in a semi-structured format, typically using
JSON
or XML documents. Each document can have a different structure, providing flexibility.
Examples:
MongoDB, CouchDB.

Key-value stores: Key-value stores store data as pairs of keys and values. They are simple
and
efficient for certain types of operations, like caching. Examples: Redis, DynamoDB.
Column-family stores: Column-family stores organize data into columns instead of rows,
making
them suitable for large-scale distributed systems and analytical workloads. Examples: Apache
Cassandra, HBase.

Graph databases: Graph databases are designed to represent and query data in the form of
graphs. They are effective for handling relationships and network-type data. Examples:
Neo4j,
Amazon Neptune.

In-memory databases: In-memory databases store data in the system's main memory
(RAM)
rather than on disk. This allows for faster data access and retrieval. Examples: Redis,
Memcached.

Time-series databases: Time-series databases are optimized for handling time-stamped data,
making them suitable for applications that involve tracking changes over time. Examples:
InfluxDB, OpenTSDB.

NewSQL databases: NewSQL databases aim to provide the scalability of NoSQL databases
while
maintaining the ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) of traditional
relational databases. Examples: Google Spanner, CockroachDB.

Object-oriented databases: Object-oriented databases store data in the form of objects,

which
can include both data and methods. They are designed to work seamlessly with object-
oriented
programming languages. Examples: db4o, Object DB.
The choice of a database depends on various factors such as the nature of the data, scalability
requirements, performance considerations, and the specific use case of the application being
developed. Each type of database has its strengths and weaknesses, and selecting the right
one
involves considering the specific needs of the project.

Application programming interface (APIs)

Application Programming Interfaces are sets of rules and protocols that allow different
software
applications to communicate with each other. APIs define the methods and data formats that
applications can use to request and exchange information.
RESTful APIs and GraphQL are common approaches for defining and interacting with web
services.
Types of APIs
Web APIs: These are APIs that are accessible over the internet using standard web protocols
such as HTTP. RESTful APIs are a common type of web API.
Library APIs: These APIs provide pre-built functions and procedures that developers can
use
within their code.
Operating System APIs: These APIs allow applications to interact with the underlying
operating
system, accessing features like file systems, hardware, and system services.
Server-side languages
Programming languages aimed at server execution, as opposed to client browser execution,
are
known as server-side languages. These programming languages are used in web development
to
perform operations including data processing, database interaction, and the creation of
dynamic
content that is delivered to the client's browser. A key element of server-side programming is
serverside
scripting, which allows the server to react to client requests in real time.
Some popular sever-side languages are:

1. PHP: PHP is a widely-used, open-source server-side scripting language. It is embedded in

HTML code and is particularly well-suited for web development.

2. Python: Python is a versatile, high-level programming language used for a variety of

purposes,
including server-side web development. Frameworks like Django and Flask make it easy to
build web applications in Python.

3. Ruby: Ruby is an object-oriented programming language, and it is commonly used for

web
development. Ruby on Rails is a popular web framework that simplifies the process of
building
web applications.

4. Java: Java is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. Java-based

frameworks like Spring are commonly used for building enterprise-level web applications.

5. Node.js (JavaScript): While JavaScript is traditionally a client-side language, Node.js

enables
developers to run JavaScript on the server side. It is known for its event-driven, non-blocking
I/O model, making it suitable for building scalable and high-performance applications.

6. C# (C Sharp): C# is a programming language developed by Microsoft and is commonly

used in
conjunction with the .NET framework for building web applications on the Microsoft stack.

7. ASP.NET: ASP.NET is a web framework developed by Microsoft, and it supports

languages like
C# and VB.NET. It simplifies the process of building dynamic web applications.

8. Go (Golang): Go is a statically-typed language developed by Google. It is known for its

simplicity and efficiency and is increasingly being used for building scalable and
highperformance
web applications.
9. Perl: Perl is a versatile scripting language often used for web development. It is known for
its
powerful text-processing capabilities.

Security measures

Implementing security measures to protect against common vulnerabilities, including SQL

injection,
cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Authentication and
authorization
mechanisms are crucial for securing data and user access.

Testing, debugging and deployment

Thorough testing and debugging processes are essential for identifying and resolving issues
in a
web application. Testing may include unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance
testing.
Debugging involves pinpointing and fixing errors in the code, ensuring the reliability and
stability of
the application.
Unit Testing: Testing individual components or functions to verify that they work as
expected.
Integration Testing: Testing the interactions between different components or modules to
ensure
they function correctly together.
Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD): CI/CD pipelines automate testing,
deployment,
and delivery processes, allowing for faster and more reliable releases.

Full-stack development
Full-stack development refers to the practice of designing, building, and maintaining the
entire
software stack of a web application. This includes both the frontend (client-side) and backend
(server-side) components, as well as the database and any other necessary infrastructure. A
fullstack
developer is someone who has expertise in working with both the frontend and backend
technologies, allowing them to handle all aspects of web application development.
MEAN (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, Node.js) and MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React,
Node.js)
are popular full-stack development stacks that streamline the development process by
providing
a cohesive set of technologies.
Web development tools and environments

Efficient web development relies on a set of tools and environments that streamline the
coding and
Collaboration processes:

1. Integrated development environments (IDEs): Tools like Visual Studio Code, Atom,
and
Sublime Text provide features such as code highlighting, autocompletion, and version control
integration, enhancing the development experience.

2. Version control: Git is a widely used version control system that allows developers to
track
changes, collaborate seamlessly, and roll back to previous versions if needed.

3. Collaboration tools: Communication platforms like Slack, project management tools such
as
Jira, and collaboration platforms like GitHub facilitate effective teamwork and project
Management.

Security practices in web development

Security is paramount in web development to protect against cyber threats and ensure the
confidentiality and integrity of user data. Best practices include encryption, secure coding
practices,
regular security audits, and staying informed about the latest security vulnerabilities and
patches.

Common threats: Developers must be aware of common security threats, including SQL
injection,
cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

Secure coding practices: Adhering to secure coding practices involves input validation,
proper
data sanitization, and ensuring that sensitive information is stored and transmitted securely.

Authentication and authorization: Implementing robust authentication mechanisms,

such as
OAuth or JSON Web Tokens (JWT), ensures that only authorized users can access specific
resources within the application.
Agile manifesto and principles
Agile is a set of principles and values for software development that prioritize flexibility,
collaboration, and customer satisfaction. The four key values are:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
Working software over comprehensive documentation.
Security practices in web wevelopment
Agile methodology in web development
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
Responding to change over following a plan.

Agile concepts in web development

1. Iterative and incremental development: Building and refining a web application through
small,
repeatable cycles, enhancing features incrementally with each iteration.

2. Scrum and kanban: Employing agile frameworks like Scrum for structured sprints or
Kanban
for continuous flow to manage tasks and enhance team efficiency.

3. Cross-functional teams: Forming collaborative teams with diverse skill sets, ensuring all
necessary expertise is present for comprehensive web development.
4. Customer collaboration: Engaging customers throughout the development process to
gather
feedback, validate requirements, and ensure the delivered product aligns with expectations.

5. Adaptability to change: Embracing changes in requirements or priorities even late in the

development process to enhance the product's responsiveness to evolving needs.

6. User stories and backlog: Capturing functional requirements through user stories and
maintaining a backlog of prioritized tasks to guide development efforts.
