The wonder invention of the century, The Internet has drastically mutated the life of humans and their industry. Since the web space is infinite, the basic framework of utilization and accessing this sea of global space was carefully designed. And standard protocols were set up to put various types of content on this enormous space. Starting with just text, today the internet supports high quality forms of content such as HD videos, photos, sound and graphics.
The unlimited scope of the cyber world invited hundreds of thousands of web development companies into business, and today the competition is ever growing. Like any other industry the web developers have clearly understood that ‘change is constant'. And the changes they are facing today are actually ‘challenges'!

Milestones

- Tim Berners-Lee published the first website in August 1991 and was the first to combine Internet communication with hypertext. Early versions of HTML were very basic, only giving a website's basic structure (headings and paragraphs), and the ability to link using hypertext. This was the ‘beginning' ...
... platform for web development.
Today there are so many advanced resources than the HTML.

- It was a huge leap when the web pages attained the ability to become dynamic pages from the previous state of just being static. Websites became interactive and people dropped jaws at this possibility. .NET, Java etc. was the most popular web developing languages in this period.

- Php (pre-processor hypertext) since the beginning of this open source programming everyone started to use php widely for web development. This opened the gate for the flourishing of CMS such as Joomla, Wordpress etc. This milestone in web development arena proved to be highly advantageous for small scale and freelancer developers. Php developers are growing in number day by day as the demand grows. Php has even developed the interactive web design today.

- The statistics saw great raises in the number of web development company in this decade and it even raised when business trends such as ‘Clone Scripts' evolved. Recently I felt very inspired when I read a news article about the web development company Contus Support interactive (the maker of the famous HD FLV Player and Groupclone) which has been excelling with laudable results in short time.

- Framework? A framework could be defined as a a set of functions within a system and how they interrelate or the layers of an operating system or the layers of an application subsystem or how communication should be standardized at some level of a network and so forth. A framework is generally more comprehensive than a protocol and more prescriptive than a structure.

- Other current trends: Unlike before readymade CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and readymade ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) are being provided. With the entering of web 2.0 now more new developments will take place and shoot challenges to the participants of the cyber world.
