A quick overview of web technologies old and new
If you are new to web development or if you are debating which tools to use for your site you’ll want to give this paper a read. It covers all the main and many less common technologies. Descriptions, pros and cons of the various web technologies are covered.
Web-based application developers face a dizzying array of platforms, languages, frameworks and technical artifacts to choose from. We survey, classify, and compare technologies supporting Web application development. The classification is based on (1) foundational technologies; (2)integration with other information sources; and (3) dynamic content generation. We further survey and classify software engineering techniques and tools that have been adopted from traditional programming into Web programming. We conclude that, although the infrastructure problems of the Web have largely been solved, the cacophony of technologies for Web-based applications reflects the lack of a solid model tailored for this domain.
