Web Development in Years Prior

By Alphonse Tan of ETN Multimedia

In the early stages of the Internet, during the late 1990's, the internet was used primarily as a means of sharing scientific information.

During the early days, the early versions of internet browsers only showed text and hyperlinks. Soon enough, with big companies like Microsoft seeing the potential of the internet then developed different technologies that would enhance a person's browsing experience.

At first it was images, then animated images. With the initial versions of browsers capable of showing graphics with text, the only basic technologies used were HTML, java scripts, java beans, etc.

Scripting tools like ASP, PHP and JSP were still not widespread and only the major "Geeks" used them. So even with graphics, all we got were mostly static web pages.

As time progressed, even businesses caught on and started coming up with their own corporate websites and claiming their own domain names as if it were their addresses on the world wide web.


CSS was born somewhere during this time and was initially propagated or introduced by Microsoft. Soon Macromedia introduced animations that were faster in loading and more presentable.

Lately, with the booming of Information and Computer Technology schools. Scripting Languages began to be learned widespread. So much so that ASP is not ASP .NET and PHP is still the more favored open source language.

Scripting Technologies provide the web designer and edge making him/her a total web developer. With these technologies come different modern terminologies such as Web Apps or Web Applications.

With web applications, a company might have their factories in China, and the Chinese factory manager might be inputting their inventory for shipment on a corporate web portal and within seconds such data can be analyzed, used and actual stocks be allocated for shipment and delivery.

In the end, the internet: its communities, its developers, its graphic artists and everyone else coming up with something new nearly everyday.

More and more people are getting connected to the net whether it is just to chat with someone else on the other side of the world or whether to research about something you caught in the bus station. The internet will always be there for us. Are you connected? :)
