Technology often evolves. Thus, keeping up with web development trends is a “must” to be on top of your game. Our firm has put together the new trends and advice on what areas you should focus on as you improve your craft.
Web Development Trends in 2017
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
When you discuss the future of technology, AI never fails to be one of the hot topics in the field, topping our list of web development trends. With lots of advances made last year and easier access to tools for their development, you can expect new and varied ways of using AI.
2. Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is a movement where non-internet-connected objects such as toasters, lights, and heaters get network connectivity to send and receive data. You, as a developer, though, may improve apps that use, analyze, and display the devices’ data. One recent example is the Jarvis server, an AI-based bot built by Mark Zuckerberg, which runs his home through a messenger bot and an iOS voice app.
3. Ruby on Rails 5
Rails 5 is the most recent update to the popular, decade-old web development framework, Ruby on Rails. Though its impact falls short as its makers intended, a few of its core features, including ActionCable and Turbolinks 5, prove useful in 2017. Further, it’s a cost-effective programming language, too, perfect for budding and practical developers.
4. Angular 2
Likewise, released last year, this Angular update came with lots of changes, a complete overhaul of Google’s front-end JavaScript framework. Then, it has everything you need for robust data management, HTTP services, and non-code-dependent develop features. Whether it’s a progressive web app or a desktop app, Angular 2 can help you deliver an engaging user experience.
5. Virtual Reality (VR)
VR gains traction in recent times and nothing can stop it from taking over web development trends. Big tech firms, including Google and Mozilla, have begun work on APIs to help VR technology move to the web. As standards improve, you can expect more apps using this tech to exist.
6. Yarn Package Manager
Package managers are popular tools in front-end JavaScript communities. In particular, the most common are NPM and Bower. Yet, in collaboration with Exponent, Google, and Tilde, Facebook created a new one called Yarn package manager. In fact, it still has access to the NPM and Bower registries and aims to resolve NPM issues on Facebook in areas such as performance, security, and consistency. You can expect Yarn’s fame to grow more.
7. Motion User Interface (UI)
Gone are the days of 2D web pages. Now, it’s time for Motion UI that makes it easier for developers to create interaction-focused UI with dynamic animations. In addition, it has improved user experience and can interact with the website in a more intuitive way.
Nothing stays long on the web because content always changes. Further, the methods we use to handle its details evolve along with it. The year, 2017, brings interesting web development trends, and it’s your job to make these changes as seamless, user-friendly, and practical as possible.
