1. Web Development Trends - 2017

2. INTRODUCTION
▪ With every passing year, current technologies and concepts get old and new technologies
emerges.
▪ As the technology advances, it gets too much ingrained in every aspect of our personal life.
▪ Human life is very much depended on internet and gadgets that use internet like smart
phones, tablets, I pad etc.
▪ If you are a web designer or developer, then you must be familiar with the new concepts &
trends in the field of web development.
▪ As 2017 has just started, we have put together some of the anticipated trends for the coming
year. Lets have a look.

3. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
▪ Google and Wikipedia are already using Artificial Intelligence
programs successfully.
▪ This technology has emerged so much such that it can develop a
software which can think and act as a human without requiring
the manpower.
▪ Artificial intelligence is already used by large applications, either
to improve search engines, like in Google’s case, or in Wikipedia’s
case to identify inaccurate or damaged articles.
▪ One of the finest examples of the use of Artificial Intelligence is
AI-driven website creation.

4. VIRTUAL REALITY
▪ Another topic that always seems to surface when discussing the
future of technology is virtual reality orVR.
▪ Web developers in Dubai make use of this trend to sweep the
gaming industry. The Oculus Rift and the Vive bring new and
interesting possibilities to the world of gaming.
▪ Companies like Google and Mozilla have begun work on APIs to
helpVR technology transition to the web.
▪ In the near future we can also expect to see virtual reality based
apps varying from news coverage to virtual real estate tours.

5. INTERNET OFTHINGS
▪ The internet of things is a movement where typically non-
internet-connected objects are given network connectivity in
order to send and receive data.
▪ Internet is moving away from our computers and mobile
phones and into our household appliances.
▪ These objects can range from your toaster or kettle, to sensors
on motors or sensors embedded in concrete to detect cracks
and weaknesses.
▪ Companies such as Xively and BugLabs have already started
working on APIs that can be used by developers to
communicate with IoT devices.

6. STATIC SITE GENERATOR
▪ Static website generators create websites from plain text,
usually stored in files and not in databases.
▪ Static websites built by generators such as Jekyll, allow for
some advantages, such as increased speed, security, ease of
deployment and their handling of traffic surges.
▪ The limitation is that, they have no real time content or user
content (such as comments), which have become a “must” on
the web today.

7. BOTS AND CONVERSATIONAL UI
▪ Bots are there to make our life easier and our experiences more
personable (or at least they should). Bots are interesting from
various standpoints and use cases.
Conversational UI on websites
Websites are starting to jump on the UI trend of conversational
interfaces. First websites, designed with a “conversation first”
approach already pop up and seem to become increasingly
popular.

8. Chatbots for customer support
▪ The old days of email ping-pong with your customers are over
soon. Instead chatbots take over right at the place where they are
most useful. Inside your product and right on your website.
▪ Bots will boost online sales, solve customer problems, and
provide help when it’s needed.

9. RAILS - 5
▪ Rails 5 – released in June 2016, Rails 5 is set to become much
more popular throughout 2017.
▪ Turbolinks 5 allow you to create single page applications directly
from the Rails stack. No need for client-side JavaScript
frameworks.
▪ With performance enhancements and improved aesthetic
flexibilities, Ruby on Rails 5 allows web developers to focus more
on the overall appearance of the website.

10. ANGULAR 2JS
▪ Angular update introduces a newly redesigned JavaScript
Framework.
▪ It’s most commonly used by app developers because ofits
compatibility with videos, animation, and other non-static
documents.

11. CONCLUSION
▪ The web is an interesting place, where nothing stands still for too
long. Information is always changing and the methods we use to
deal with that information will always evolve along with it.
▪ Every new feature which graces the web, our smart phones, and
even our household electrics is there to make our lives easier,
simpler, and ultimately better.
