The web application market is going through a significant change, and through this evolution, it’s playing an increasingly important role in a company’s competitive advantage, well the same applies to web developers. Web application development, web design and development, web design and developers focuses on building amazing user experiences. It is important to understand some of the fastest and relevant tools available in the market for web application development.

AngularJS – Preferred tool for web application development

AngularJS is the most preferred tool for web developers. AngularJS has the credibility as one of the fastest growing tools. In fact, Google trends have confirmed that AngularJS is the fastest growing framework compared to other tools available in the market. AngularJS builds upon standard HTML forms and input elements. This means that you can continue to create your UI from the same HTML elements. Not only that, AngularJS is a lightweight and secured tool as well. Working on the two-way data binding mechanism it allows web developers to access JavaScript objects on the go. This framework is vast and aims at helping a myriad of developers around the world with their doubts and queries.

Django (Python)

Another tool that we want to put in the limelight today would be Django, which is known to be a high-level Phyton web framework. It helps to encourage rapid web development as well as help you create pragmatic designs. Built by experienced developers that have been in the industry for many years, it takes care of much of the hassle of web development and makes it easier for the developers to get their work done. The Django project’s stability, performance and community have grown tremendously over the past decade since the framework’s creation. As it is based on Python, Django code is easy to read and to maintain. Django’s main advantages are:

Fast – Django is built to help developers in order for them to create their applications from concept to end product completion as fast as possible. 

Secured – Django is known to take their security very seriously to avoid any security failures that might prove catastrophic to some clients’ websites. Imagine a banking website or a university student website that might be compromised. Security is extremely important.

Extremely scalable – Some of the best sites on the Web uses Django’s ability as a leverage to quickly and flexibly scale their web creations to the best of their abilities. 

Express (Node.js/JavaScript)

Express is known to be a flexible, fast and most importantly minimalist web framework for Node.js.

Node.js is a browser-less environment for running JavaScript

Express provides a booming set of features for the world wide web and mobile applications and also promises to deliver great HTTP utility methods. Express has become very popular because it allows for an easier migrations for the clients from Javascript to the server-side development. It is also incredibly resource-efficient.

Due to Express being a minimalist type framework, it might not have every component that you would want to use for your project.

Flask (Python)

This next contender is amazing because it is known to be able to create full-on websites out of the box. The features of Flask include a development server and a debugger which also includes support for Jinja2 templating, secure cookies and unit testing.

It is fast becoming popular among developers that need to provide web services for smaller and more resource-constrained systems.

Ruby on Rails (Ruby)

Rails (usually referred to as “Ruby on Rails”) is a web framework written for Ruby programming language. Rails follow a very similar design philosophy to Django. Ruby is really great for beginners, so that’s a big win. Learning to program in Ruby is much easier than in other languages because the language is super flexible and very forgiving, which translates to more time spent absorbing programming fundamentals and less time banging your head against your desk.
