The contribution of Web development in flourishing internet

Life has become swifter than ever. Whenever I am alone and feel like shopping, I prefer to open a shopping website instead of moving from shop to shop. It saves my time and energy both; moreover I can shop online anytime, because things are just a click away. I wonder then, what would have been this life, if there was no website to reach out.
We have seen a monstrous development over internet since 1990. Initially there was very few websites  and that too presented simpler tools and applications. The web pages used to be easily manageable but today it is foolish to even talk about the number of websites over the web. There are endless of these  developed all over the world. You may find a site on everything from needle to shoe and clothes to kitchen articles.
Web development has turned into a giant which controls the sphere of internet. A website allows you to access everything sitting at home with a single touch on your keyboard. The success of internet as media is credited to these online sites only. We all have become so addicted to this new media that it is out of the question today to survive without it.
Web development is a process of developing a website using writing markup and coding. The links which take us from one page to another are the product of this coding only. Website design includes client liaison, server-side scripting, e-commerce development, web server and network security configuration. It is actually the non designing part of a website which takes the help of web development softwares like Adobe Dreamweaver, Netbeans, WebDev or Microsoft Expression Studio, Adobe Flex.
All the WebPages whether that single and simple page with plain text having no other landing page or the one which carries so many links, is the product of Web developing tools only. It ranges from developing a static to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.
Web development is undertaken with the use of languages such as HTML, XML, Flash, Perl, CSS etc. These are the languages which have some coded meanings to it that are used by a web developer.  A web developer who is well-versed in the use all these languages is able to play around it otherwise it may be quite a pain to develop a comprehensive website.
A layman cannot understand the technicalities of developing process.  It is a long procedure which needs expert skills with technical know-how. It is evident that web development has lead to the progress in the world of mass communication by creating multiple options. When we switch our tabs from one to another, we tend to overlook the efforts which have lead to the formation of this vast stretched network we call, internet.
