Web development covers a diverse range of professions such as designers, programmers, system analysts, technical writers, search engine optimizers, database managers and animators, just to name a few.
Web development involves the creation of applications that run on the World Wide Web. These applications are fundamentally categorized as three tiered applications. The first tier or level is the web browsers such as Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Mosaic. These browsers provide the user interface for the system. The interfaces are usually shown as web pages. Web pages can be created using basic HTML (HyperText Mark-up Language) to the remarkable animations of Macromedia Flash.
