Summary: We all know how the use of internet is growing at a rapid pace and so as the demand of web applications. The article discusses about some of the open-source web development technologies that are widely used in web application development.

Web applications are software that is programmed using web coding languages like HTML and scripting language like JavaScript. Web services are a platform which allows online sharing of information via internet browser. The availability of internet enabled smart phone and easy accessibility of internet plans has boosted the number of users using the internet which in turn is boosting the demand of web applications. Web applications have a broad range of applications and it can be built using many different web development technologies.


Some web applications are just a static information source where users can find any subject-specific information, some are online discussion boards and forums where users can interact and discuss on various subjects-matter. Dot net services are the most widely used web development technology. It embodies a number of other web coding languages like ASP, HTML, CSS, PHP, AJAX, .NET and Java.

In this article, I am going to discuss the major technologies used in web application development:

PHP

PHP, an acronym of Personal Home-Page Hypertext Preprocessor, is the best solution for dynamic and interactive web app development. PHP is a Linuxbased server-side scripting language that was first introduced in the year 1994 with the name ‘Perl Script’. Web developers can integrate other web programming framework like XM and AJAX with PHP development. MySQL database systems are widely used in PHP development which ultimately results in easy and quick data access.

PHP is an open-source framework thus web developers and even businesses prefer PHP over Microsoft’s ASP. Because of its cost-efficiency and integration of powerful features, it is widely used in net service provider companies. Web applications developed using .NET framework supports multiple languages that help website owners to expand their reach worldwide. .NET framework also offers top-security and a plethora of advance web features.

ASP

The online discussion boards and forum are built using Microsoft’s ASP. ASP is also used to create general applications like classified ads, guestbook, calendar scheduler, comment, RSS feedback and questionnaires on the websites. Moreover, ASP makes it easy for SEO professionals to optimize the websites for search engines.

Java

Java derives its syntax from C and C++ but it is much simpler. Java development mostly embodies Java Scraps and Java Environment. It is an open-source system that was introduced in the 1990. JavaScript is widely used in rich internet application development. The platform offers great flexibility and rich functionality that help web developers build customized web application.

When it comes to online game development or business website development, Java is the first choice of developers. It ensures security, reliability and enhanced functionality when the application is running on the internet browser. The banking organizations and corporate companies use JavaScript coding to access and transmit secure information online. It is also used to generate markup languages like HTML, XML and SVG.

Because of the cost-efficiency, greater flexibility and advance functionality, open-source web development technologies are most popular on the market today. Also, there are so many open-source frameworks discovered till date thus website owners get the opportunity to pick the one that exactly fits with their requirements.

A good web design company first collect all the design requirements of the client and research on its industry-domain before actually starting the designing task. Once the design part is over, the web developers start coding the functionality and features. In general, a good company can help you get customer-centric website.
