What is Web Development?
Web development is the creation of website pages. A website is a virtual location on the internet
which is a page or a collection of pages that we visit to gather information or get a service. For
example facebook.com, instagram.com, reebok.com, myntra.com, or amazon.com. All these
websites are uniquely identified by their domain name and they have text, video, or audio
information rendered in their website for viewers to comprehend.
Professionals who work in this field are known as web developers (I wonder why not spiders,
cause they develop web too). Now, this is further divided into two branches, Frontend
Development, and Backend Development.
Backend Development – Every website has lots of features, they store and process data or
present information to its users. Backend engineers or developers write code to implement
these features and send information in the frontend.
Frontend Development – Anything that is visible when we visit a website comes under frontend
development. A front-end engineer developer writes code to integrate the functionality of the
website to allow the users to interact with all the features.
How Does a Website Work?
Just like the files stored in our computer, websites are files stored in a computer called the
server. Whenever we enter a URL in our browser, our browser loads the files into our screen.
These files are made in such a way so that we can interact with them to fetch information or
make use of a service provided by the website. For example when we click on a link of a meme
shared by our friends, or browser redirects us and loads the image file for us to view.
How Is A Website Developed?
So that now we know what is web development, now we must understand how it is developed.
The basic building block of every website is HTML and CSS. HTML whose full form is
HyperText Markup Language is used to build the skeleton of the website whereas CSS or
Cascading Style Sheet is used to add skin to that skeleton. Aren’t we missing anything? Yes,
the organs. The organs or the functionality of the website can be implemented using any
programming language or scripting language for example JavaScript, Python, Java, and many
more. This is not it, we also have to learn a database management system, as the name
suggests, this program is used to store data of the users in a systematic way which can be
accessed later by our website.
We have to learn HTML, CSS, and at least one prominent programming language to start with
web development. Above this, we have learned a few frameworks. These frameworks help us
manage our code and integrate frontend and backend. Some frameworks help us develop either
only the frontend or the backend, or both.
Frontend Frameworks – Angular, React, Vue, Ionic, etc.
Backend Frameworks – Spring Boot, ExpressJS, CakePHP, Laravel, etc.
Frameworks that facilitate both are – Django, Spring MVC, Flask, etc.
Career Options
IT is a booming industry, web development is for anyone who has a passion for writing codes
and enough will to debug all the errors. With over ₹5 lakhs vacancies across various IT giants,
this profession is in high demand. The average package of a web developer in India is ₹4-5
lakhs per annum with salaries going up to 2.5 crores per annum. One could specialize in one of
the departments like Frontend Engineer, Backend Engineer, Database Engineer. Besides there
are various other professions associated with them like, UI/UX Designer, DevOps, Cloud
Engineer, Cyber Security Engineer, and many more. I would recommend every aspirant to
google all the keywords in this article to get a better understanding of this field.

Cloud information technology is a type of computing that utilizes remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than storing it locally on a physical server or personal computer. Cloud-based solutions allow users to access their data anytime, anywhere as long as they have an internet connection.
My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Absolutely brilliant blog post!Web development is the process of
creating and maintaining websites and web applications. It
encompasses a wide range of tasks, including designing the user
interface (UI), writing code to implement functionality,
optimizing performance, and ensuring security.
