Step by Step of Web Application Development
A web application is developed with code and dependent on a common web browser to make the application executable. The popularity of web application development is endless. One example of web application development popularity is that they are often free and require no installation to your computer. A second example is the ability to update web applications without distributing and installing software on thousands of computers.
Web developers use many different interfaces when developing applications, such as Java, Flash, PHP, and Ajax. PHP and Ajax are great examples of an interface that web developers want to use more of, because they are a combination of development techniques. This means that the completed application will be a more interactive experience.
Web application development is broken into tiers, and each tier is assigned a role. The most common web application is the three-tiered application. Each tier is represented by a name. In three-tiered development the names are, first to third tier:
Presentation– In this step the web browser is selected.
Application– In this tier you pick and begin developing your web application with the technology you want to develop on.
Storage– In this tier the database is presented. This will allow for queries and updates to be made.
