Top 5 Trending Web Technologies
Author : John Prabhu 27th Feb 2019
We are very well aware that HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL were the basic development technologies available then. Apart from that, Bootstrap was one of the popular and most-used frameworks. But, the IT world witnessed a number of trending web technologies recently.
As a result, there is a pool of technologies and choosing one has become a crucial decision-making process. There are a number of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, tools, etc. Here we can discuss the top 5 trending web technologies.
1. PYTHON AND DJANGO
Python has become the buzzword with an increase in demand for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, etc. It can also be employed in website, web apps and mobile app development processes.
It can efficiently carry out a number of web development tasks like implementing command line scripts, creating GUI, and web applications. Django and Flask are python based framework technologies used for rapid web and web application development.
2. REACT JS AND VUE.JS
Simplicity, flexibility, and versatility are the key specifications of ReactJS library. Even the UI of Facebook and Instagram apps are designed using ReactJS. It is used for designing interfaces for single page applications as well as mobile applications.
Having more than 113k stars on GitHub, Vue.JS is a popular open-source JavaScript framework. Vue.JS is a lightweight framework that comes with everything you get on Angular and React. It poses a tough competition for the ReactJS library and AngularJS framework in web development technologies.
3. THE MEAN STACK
The MEAN stack comprises of MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS, and Node.js. Due to its powerful conglomerate of open-source JavaScript-based web development, it has been adopted widely in huge numbers.
MongoDB is a cross-platform, document-oriented database program; Express.js is a framework that helps to build web applications and APIs; AngularJS is a frontend web application framework developed by Google; Node.js is a server-side JavaScript run-time environment built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Thus, with the help of this MEAN stack, you can develop websites and applications purely on JavaScript.
4. PHP 7 AND LAMP STACK
LAMP is an acronym of Linux OS, Apache HTTP, and the MySQL with PHP. To produce greater results, the most popular content management system (CMS), WordPress (powering over 31% of the web) also leverages the advantages of the LAMP stack.
With the help of MySQL, PHP helps to add functionalities to the HTML and also interacts with databases. Hence, developers keep PHP in their website development stack.
5. ASP.NET AND MS SQL
Leveraging Microsoft’s .NET framework, ASP.NET is capable of producing dynamic and modern websites and web applications. When this power-bomb joins hands with Microsoft’s own MS SQL, you can create fast, simple and scalable applications based on popular web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
.NET has got an edge in recent times as it has become completely open-source, and ASP.NET is for sure, one of the main web development technologies.
Thus, depending on the requirement of your project, the selection and building of suitable technology stack differ. Get a clear picture of your project, and the potentials of these web technologies & incorporate them into your web development technology stack.
