Artificial Intelligence to Develop Websites and Apps

We all know, Artificial intelligence programs are already used by Google and Wikipedia. The technology that allow us to develop software which can think and act as a human being without employing the manpower. The Grid has already given us the snippet of this technology for developing web design programs using artificial intelligence designer named Molly. "You give the content, Molly does the rest"

Evolution of JavaScript in 2017

There is lot of discussion happening in the web developing world regarding which new programming language one should learn next. So let's start with JavaScript. JavaScript is by far the most popular yet complex web development language.

There's a lot of buzz about JavaScript and its relevancy but what you should opt for in 2017 is….

TypeScript

Over the last year, we’ve seen the rise of TypeScript. It’s a statically typed language that collates to JavaScript. So you can use existing JavaScript code, incorporate your JS libraries, and call TypeScript code from JavaScript.

Internet Of Things (IOT)

Internet is no more restricted to computers and mobile phones. Technology advances and now there is an increasing demand for the internet to control every aspect of our lives- using apps or chat bots on our smart phones smart phones

Project Jarvis by Marc Zuckerberg is the recent example of AI-based internet of things. He built his own AI-based bot which runs his entire home. It's like developing a remote control to control your home appliances, lights and switches and what not. With his project Jarvis he built a system which allows him to gain control various devices (cameras, toaster), home systems (like lights, doors, thermostat) through a messenger bot and an iOS Voice app.

Static Site Generator

Static site generators are an effective and easy way to create websites. You don’t need a database, instead your web pages are simple files which run on your servers. With that comes improved website loading speed, better security handling, and ease of deployment. Hugo or Jekyll are the most popular static site generators.

Bots and Conversational UI

Bots are here to make our digital experience more personable. 2016 was predicted to be the year of conversational commerce, therefore design and development of bots and conversational UI will become an important web trend for 2017. Websites designed with a "conversation first" approach already come along and seem to gain lot of popularity.

http://azumbrunnen.me/ is designed with a conversation-first approach. The idea that chat bots are effective if the user interacted using certain dialogue options. That instead of open text entry they selected from a limited set of options.

Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails is a web-application framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications. Ruby on Rails seems to be making a real impact on web development with its latest version "Ruby on Rails 5" laved with Turbolinks 5 feature that allow you to create single page applications directly from the Rails stock. No need for client-side JavaScript frameworks.

Accelerated Mobile Page

AMP is a project from Google and Twitter designed to make really fast mobile pages. It's basically a slimmed-down form of HTML, a diet HTML if you will. It's an HTML page designed to be super flimsy and critically designs really fast loading pages.

What makes it so fast?

1. Well as we mentioned in our previous slide it’s a diet HTML, meaning you can't incorporate certain tags of HTML in it. Things like form, that are out.
2. You also need to use a smooth-running version of CSS. Since some aspects of the CSS are old school, you simply can't use it.
3. And well JavaScript you simply can't use it at all.

Angular JS

Angular Js comes out with a new version every year and so. In 2016 also this angular update launched a newly remodeled JavaScript framework. It is also deemed to be frequently updated with additional features added every 6 months. It is generally used by app developers since they are easily compatible with videos, animation and other non-static documents.

Well it all comes down to improving the UX and UI when it comes to development in 2017. And as a web developer it's our duty to make these as smooth as possible.
