The Future of Web Applications


The future of software industry lies in web applications that are used to showcase business plans and procedures implemented on the Web. The medium through which these applications are used are user services, business services and data services.

Many business to business interactions are done through web applications over secure networks. There is an increasing popularity of web applications because many overseas companies intend outsourcing their projects which requires well defined web applications. Developers sitting seven seas away can deploy an application on the Internet and you may work from the other end. Huge applications can be uploaded from wherever you are and accesses from anywhere in the world.

Web applications are popular in all industry verticals like finance, software, hospitals, hotels, schools and many others. The basic web applications or web designs are created in HTML, DHTML and some sites use COM components and Java applets. These basic websites then move further using business logic and with a wide range of web scripting in Java/PHP/.NET. As the requirements become complex the website owners choose programming languages like PERL, CORBA etc to perform complex actions through web interface.

Web applications become even more sophisticated and complex when data needs to be saved, stored, retrieved and update information at higher levels. Databases are the most convenient way to organize the entire data in a systematic fashion.

Web design and development has taken a new turn over the last few years with more businesses choosing to use web applications. It is also useful to understand that these businesses also care for their web presence and optimize the web presence by using many methods in search engine optimization (SEO). Web design/application can succeed highly if we spend a few hours every day on optimizing the site.

Search engine optimization (SEO) yields high results in terms of an increase in number of visitors and revenue. More visitors to the site mean more traffic and this translates into more business and their revenue increases. A good design appeals to the visitors’ eye and good content to his senses. A well optimized site appeals to the crawlers and throws up in the search with relevant keywords. The present online business state of affairs demands an increasing need for today's businessmen to escalate business and its presence from existing phase to the next phase. Therefore web presence should be in existence to gain maximum customers’ reach.
