Web development is a broad term for any activity to developing a web site for the World Wide Web or an internet. This can include e-commerce business development, web design, web content development, client-side\/server-side scripting, and web server configuration.<\/p>\n
However, among web professionals, “web development” usually refers only to the non-design aspects of building web sites, e.g. writing markup and coding. Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.<\/p>\n
For larger businesses and organizations, web development teams can consist of hundreds of people (web developers). Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting webmaster, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer and\/or Information systems technician.<\/p>\n
Web development may be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated department.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Web Development can be split into many areas and a typical and basic web development hierarchy might consist of:<\/p>\n

However lesser known languages like\u00a0 Ruby<\/a> and Python<\/a> are often paired with database servers other than MySQL<\/a> (the M in LAMP). Below are example of other databases currently in wide use on the web. For instance some developers prefer a LAPR(Linux\/Apache\/PostgreSQL\/Ruby on Rails) setup for development.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In practice, many web developers<\/a> will also have interdisciplinary<\/strong> skills \/ roles, including:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The above list is a simple website development hierarchy and can be extended to include all client side and server side aspects. It is still important to remember that web development is generally split up into client side coding covering aspects such as the layout and design, then server side coding, which covers the website’s functionality and back end systems.<\/p>\n Looking at these items from an “umbrella approach”, client side coding such as XHTML<\/a> is executed and stored on a local client (in a web browser) whereas server side code is not available to a client and is executed on a web server<\/a>Database Technology<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nwhich generates the appropriate XHTML which is then sent to the client. As the nature of client side coding allows you to alter the HTML on a local client and refresh the pages with updated content (locally), web designers<\/a> must bear in mind the importance and relevance to security with their server side scripts. If a server side script accepts content from a locally modified client side script, the web development of that page shows poor sanitization with relation to security<\/a>.<\/p>\n
