A Different Approach to Application Development
Modern web-based development encompasses many areas of expertise; no longer limited to the development of websites alone, it has spread to mobile apps, web services, and a range of other areas. Today, web development can be separated into five major architectural arenas: Security, Browser Applications, Mobile Applications, Server Applications, and Web Services, coupled with an appropriate underlying data persistence. The traditional 3-tiered architecture is now n-tiered, and can be vast and varied.
In each of these arenas, a large array of open-source products has evolved. Some serve overlapping concerns while others fill specialty or niche requirements.
