Smartphones play an important role in our lives. That’s why mobile applications need to pay no less attention. Of course, Javascript is well suited for their development. However, Java is considered the most effective programming language in this key.
Frameworks
Good ground is needed for a perfect web service. Its part is the development environment. I cannot name the future for several years in advance, because at any moment they can create a universal framework. But we already know for sure which sets of tools will be held in high esteem in 2020.
React and Vue – the basis of all front-end developments. React is today the most sought-after framework in most companies. For a long time it competed with Angular. But the developers claim that Angular sags significantly in efficiency.
Vue suddenly became popular just this year. However, he captured the Asian market. He is expected to level out with React. Xiaomi is one of the well-known brands that has completely switched to using Vue.
Svelte.js – a framework that is virtually unknown today. But many developers are willing to work with him. High likelihood that it will be the same way as Vue.
The fact is that
Svelte allows you
to create an application that will take less memory. For the work of the finished product, the code of the framework itself is not needed. This is how a reduced size is achieved. For this, Svelte has been called "disappearing".
Voice commands
One example of the implementation of artificial intelligence. Previously, it was not so noticeable, because this technology worked just awful. Products with high-quality voice input were disproportionately expensive. However, now it is one of the trends.
Voice search is not as fast as text input, because the browser needs time for a clear speech recognition. But it takes on a new look and influences the development of most web services.
For example,
SEO of many sites is based on voice queries. The fact is that with the text we introduce something like “interesting places in London”, but let's say “where to go in London?”. Outwardly quite similar queries, but their difference greatly affects the indexing of sites by search engines.
Also, voice commands are actively implemented in many mobile and web applications. So, by voice, you can call Uber. This makes life much easier, because you do not need to spend time on using the application. Geolocation determines exactly where the driver should arrive. It remains only to wait for the notification of the arrival of cars.
Voice input is another technology that improves the user experience. That is why it makes up the future of web development.
Interactivity
Nothing influences web development trends more than user experience. After all, the task of the developer is to make the most convenient and practical application. That’s why web services will be more interactive.
One example is the Genesis car dealer website. Instead of flipping through hundreds of pages, the user can explore the car with a mouse click. Moreover, the functionality allows you to "collect" your car, namely:
- select a color;
- determine the equipment;
- pick up wheels.
And other. In other words, the buyer will be able to change everything that does not affect the characteristics of the car.
Previously, such developments did not have great popularity due to the large consumption of resources and the prolonged site load. But today technology is much faster. Now it's much faster to wait for the loading of the interactive page, rather than browse through a few ordinary ones.
Adaptability
Long gone are the days when we visit web pages only from a computer. Moreover, we increasingly use smartphones and tablets, because their functionality and performance is much higher. If we talk about the use of web applications, mobile phones are not inferior to computers.
The only difference is the screen size. Ease of use of the site or graphics should not suffer because of different monitors. Otherwise, the user simply refuses to work with the web page, moving to a more optimized.
Any web application must adapt to any device, from
appearance to functionality. It is important not to create two (or more) versions of the site, since in this case inaccuracies will be noticeable. It is necessary to develop one version that adapts to the workspace.
One-page sites
Increasingly, we notice the effectiveness of single-page. As soon as such sites appeared, users said that this was caused by the indifference of developers to their projects. However, over time, the benefits of such sites have been recognized.
First of all, they allow you to save development resources. Secondly, such pages load much faster. A modern user really appreciates his time, so he cannot wander around the site for a long time looking for information.
More importantly, the correct placement of data on a one-page website allows you to attract the attention of a potential client in a matter of seconds. Much more likely that he will buy a product that interested in 5 seconds than the one that had to study for several hours.
