Development stacks are an essential part of developing any mobile application. If you want to turn your website into a downloadable app, this article will guide you through everything you need to know about web development stacks.
What are web development stacks?
“Web Development Stacks” are collections of software used to create a website or app. They usually include both backend and frontend frameworks that allow visitors to enjoy the website/app fully while allowing the developers access to the user data and accessible editing.
Although different web development stacks will differ in various ways, most will have the following three aspects.
1. A place to store information; a database. When people create an account on your app, they will expect to be able to reopen the app whenever they want and have it remember all the information previously provided. The database will also store the other pages such as “About Us,” “FAQs,” or Blog posts.
2. A way to respond to HTTP Requests. This relates to the back-end services, which enable the owners to edit the app however they see fit. When you wish to make changes, whether to change the aesthetics, add more services, or add new pages, it’s essential to have software that can recognize and fulfill HTTP requests.
3. Client-side framework. To put it bluntly, this software enables users to use your app.
What tech should you use in 2022?
Of course, when picking which web development stack to use, there is no shortage of options. But it’s crucial to choose the right one for your app.
Frontend Frameworks
React
React is a javascript-based library initially developed by Facebook (before it became Meta) but has since gone on to be used by 40% of developers!
Its lightweight features make it faster, which reduces loading time and prevents people from deleting the app because it “takes too long to load.”
Have you ever noticed how Meta apps such as Instagram, WhatsApp, or Facebook take almost no time to load? That’s because React uses the minimum amount of software, so the system doesn’t become overloaded.
For instance, you can use a React Dashboard Template if you want to create a fast and responsive web app. These Dashboard Templates are collections of many useful React components and libraries
Angular
Angular, like React, is also based on Javascript. Google first developed it, but today, 15% of developers use it.
Angular is designed mainly for single-page applications. These are apps and websites where the current web page is rewritten with new data instead of creating a new webpage. For example, if you go to cnn.com, you will always see today’s news on the front of the website; you won’t have to go to CNN.com/[today’s date] to find today’s news.
The webpage rewriting is done via 2-way data binding, which binds HTML controls to the data to reflect changes immediately.
Vue
Evan You, an independent software developer, based in Singapore, developed Vue. It’s similar to Angular because it uses 2-way data binding for single-page applications. However, it has a much smaller library size.
Only 4% of developers use Vue.
Backend Frameworks
Node.JS
Node is designed for fast performance and scalability. Fast because it can handle extensive connections simultaneously, and scalable because it can increase its node number when traffic increases. The “single-threaded event loops” allow the software to complete tasks without interruption.
Python
Python uses a universal language that’s easy to learn and utilize. It’s highly flexible and makes data analysis and automation much more manageable.
Hence, collecting data and setting your app to automatically perform specific tasks (such as offering a “You Might Like” pop-up) is far easier.
ASP.NET
This is a “cross-platform open source framework,” which may sound complicated. But, it just means that it uses various libraries and editors, which allows developers to gather data from multiple sources to improve the user experience.
ASP.NET uses a “Common language interface”; you can use multiple programming languages, so long as they have the right infrastructure. Unlike Python, you are not restricted to just one programming language.
Summary
Web development stacks are vital collections of software that enable apps to be enjoyed by the public, and edited by developers. Combining frontend with backend services allows the easy editing of an app to improve the overall user experience.
