Future of the Web and Web building tools

The future of the Web as an arena for information trading and eCommerce lies in the effective creation, editing and presentation of cogent data and information. In many senses, the future of the web and its expansion depends largely on web building software and applications. The present growth and development of the Internet is mainly due to one simple reason: the increased participation of millions of users who add to the information base. The success of ecommerce is also dependent on the increased online usage. Both these aspects are predicated on another important factor which is the ability to add information and communicate easily on the Web. This aspect depends on the ease-of-use that software and online applications can provide.

The Internet is developing at an exponential rate. Not only is the number of online users increasing, but the Internet is changing the way we interact, communicate and do business. Here are just a few of the figures that show this amazing increase in Web usage over the past few years. .

In Sri Lanka the increase was from 6 to 234 or 3,800%, and in Pakistan the jump was from 17 to 386 - almost 2,200%. Currently more new information is being created and revised on Web sites (plus all the connected Intranets) in less than a week than was available on the entire World Wide Web during its formative years. For the last five years Internet user growth in South America has been a staggering cumulative average growth of 125%, compared to 119% in Asia; 87% in Africa; and 80% in the United States and Canada

In the very early years of the Internet's development, Web pages could only be constructed by directly using HyperText Markup Language to HTML. HTML is defined as " A markup language designed for the creation of web pages and other information viewable in a browser. The focus of HTML is on the presentation of information -- paragraphs, fonts, italics, tables, and so forth -- rather than the semantics -- what the words mean." ( Onelook) WebPages were created usually by using a simple text editor such as Windows Notepad to write the underlying syntax. This language was created and displayed the web page in conjunction with an application known as the Web Browser. The early Web browsers like Netscape, in conjunction with the underlying language, allowed for the standardization of the Web, so that all web pages could be displayed, viewed and interacted with by the browser users.

While the HTML language was relative easy to master and implement, yet it was still the reserve of the more technically minded and those who had the time and patience to master the language. This was all to change racially with the introduction of WYSIWYG applications and tools intended for Web building and creations. WYSIWYG is an acronym for what -- you - see - is - what - you -- get. WYSIWYG applications or Wed editors provided a user - friendly interface and were often template driven, which facilitated easy Web page creation without any knowledge of the underlying HTML to other languages. This meant that the ordinary user could easily create and maintain Web pages for personal or commercial use. This in turn lead to… READ MORE
