Transcript of Web Development Process
Web Development – an essential to every Business
Creating an online presence has become one of the best options for
business expansion. For an individual, too, a website placed on the
world-wide-web (www) enhances communication and network
interaction.
Website Development is the creation of a website for the internet
(world-wide web- www) or intranet (private network). It includes
web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/
server side scripting, web server, network security configuration
and e-commerce development. A large organization may require a
large number of web developers but a small one can perform
website development with a webmaster, graphic designer and
information systems technician.
Database driven websites are the most common type of dynamic
web pages as opposed to static web pages that obtain information
from a programmed database and updates the web pages
continually. Database driven websites are like online banking sites
where we can check bank balances that are updated automatically
through an inbuilt program. The old static manual system that
would require a herculean effort from a thousand employees has
been consigned to the past.
(CMS) in Drupal, Joomla and WordPress or Content Management
System is a software library of web-based programs uploaded to
the server to provide word-processor like abilities to the website. If
CMS was a kitchen with many dishes, Drupal, Joomla and
WordPress are CMS packages or electrical appliances that help in
meal preparation.
Drupal is an open source CMS platform powering millions of
websites and applications. From Blogs to enterprise applications or
The Economist and The White House use Drupal.
Joomla is another open source CMS platform that provides the
tools to build standard sites, directories, intranets, social networks
and shopping charts. MTV and Citibank are a couple of Joomla
users.
WordPress is also an open source CMS blogging tool based on PHP
and MySQL. It is the most popular and has a web template system
using a template processor. Android and Blackberry use
WordPress.
PHP, Ruby on Rails are frameworks on which PHP and Ruby
languages are scripted by web developers. While PHP Framework
has speed, stability, is easy-to-use and is quite extensive Ruby on
Rails lets us write beautiful code by favoring convention over
configuration and supports most common open source databases.
Internet Portal connects us to a global system of interconnected
computer networks. A computer that connects to the internet can
access information from a vast number of servers and computers.
Web users send and receive information using a web browser;
other software for interaction includes electronic mail, online chat,
file transfer and file sharing.
Interactive Platforms have now been provided with software for
iPad, Smartphone, Tablet PC, Android Tablet and other web-
enabled devices.
Blogs are discussion sites on the world-wide web with entries
appearing in reverse chronological order to display latest entries
first. While many blogs are commentaries on a particular subject,
others function as online diaries while yet others function as online
advertisements for companies or individuals.
Forums are online discussion sites where people can hold
conversations in the form of posted messages. Depending on the
access level of a user a posted message needs approval from a
moderator before it is displayed. Users can be anonymous or have
to register with the Forum. On most forums users do not have to
log in to read existing messages.
Wiki is a website which allows its users to add, modify or delete its
content via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a
rich text editor. Wiki provides Knowledge management and note
taking.
Networking Sites focus on building relationships through a network
where people share interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life
connections. Interaction over net through email and instant
messaging are enabled through networking sites. Family, friends,
classmates, school or college mates combine in Facebook, Twitter
and Google adding a new dimension to an otherwise drab routine.
All said and done website development has shrunk the world. A
person or company’s worth or inherent abilities can now be
declared public for the world to know and appreciate. Online
presence is just a matter of choice- TO BE OR NOT TO BE.
