Web application development is the process of creating application programs that reside on remote servers and are delivered to the user’s device over the Internet.
The development process involves several steps, including designing the web application’s architecture, coding the application, testing it for performance and bugs, and deploying it for public or private use. It encompasses a range of programming languages and technologies, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript(Angular, React, Vue), and more advanced server-side languages like PHP(Laravel), Python, or Node JS. The goal is to create a functional, secure, and efficient web application that meets the specific needs and goals of its users.
