Web development refers to the work involved in creating a website for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an Intranet(a private network). Web development can include anything from creating a single static page of plain text to creating complex web applications, electronic businesses, and social network services. Web engineering, Web design, Web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, Web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development are some of the more comprehensive tasks to which Web development commonly refers. "Web development" is commonly used among Web professionals to refer to the main non-design aspects of building Web sites: writing markup and coding. Content management systems (CMS) may be used in web development to make content changes easier and more accessible to those with basic technical skills.
Web development teams for larger organisations and businesses can consist of hundreds of people (Web developers) and use standard methods such as Agile methodologies when developing Web sites. Smaller organisations may only require a single permanent or contracting developer, as well as secondary assignments to related job positions such as graphic designer or information systems technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort among departments rather than the responsibility of a single department. Web developer specialisations are divided into three categories: front-end developer, back-end developer, and full-stack developer. Front-end developers are in charge of the behaviour and visuals that appear in the user's browser, whereas back-end developers work with the servers. Since the commercialization of the Web, with Tim Berners-Lee developing the World Wide Web at CERN, the industry has grown to become one of the most widely used technologies in history.
Web development is one of the most frequently undertaken jobs for developers. If you want to employ the top web engineers, keep an eye out for these web programming languages. Despite the diversity of technologies used in modern web development today, a few programming languages dominate the landscape. For example, JavaScript and HTML are the most popular web programming languages with 65% and 56% usage respectively. However, new web development languages are constantly emerging to support the growing demand for web apps.
JavaScript is the number one most popular web development programming language at this moment. It’s also the
only language used
for front-end development, back-end development, and mobile app development.
TypeScript is a modern, strongly-typed language for developing large applications. It’s a superset of
JavaScript and compiles to
plain JavaScript to be used in browser development with Node.js or by itself.

HTML is probably the oldest programming language for web development next to CSS. HTML has been in existence
since the beginning of web development.
Although most of its syntax has changed since its first release, it has never fallen out of fashion. HTML
and CSS are only used for front-end development,
but it’s a must-know programming language for all web developers.

In terms of popularity, Python is often considered a close second to JavaScript. It has a much smaller
community than JavaScript, but it’s still one of the
top programming languages for web development.

Microsoft’s .NET Core is the most popular platform for C# since it provides a standard library and an
optimized runtime environment. Popular languages like F#
and VB.NET are also part of the .NET framework. These languages can be used instead of C#, depending on your
preferences.

Ruby is another popular programming language that’s also easy to learn. It was inspired by Perl and Python,
which means it has a familiar syntax for people learning
web development.
