15 Feb 2017

Our world of activities has shaped and moved in the advanced zones, thanks to the technological trends for that. Be it a banking task, a shopping activity or even reading news, people tend to visit website in the modern world instead of buying a newspaper. These trends may shape further swiftly into advance zones when it comes to roaring markets like Dubai.

Following is the list of core role players that I believe will shape things further in the latter part of 2017!

 

1. Artificial intelligence:

You cannot skip this when talking about future trends in technology, can you? It has been a top agenda over the past few months and back in 2016 things started to shape in actualities. Tech giants like Google, Facebook and Microsoft have been introducing their AI backed application already both for the sake of their search engine functioning improvements and or to identify bogus or inaccurate articles, a good example for this would be Wikipedia. The Grid, Molly is yet another example for this where one can get hands on an aesthetic website by simply answering the questions that are being asked by it. All this can be classified as a good contribution to the machine’s learning.

 

2. Virtual reality

Another hot topic that is always on target while discussing the future technological trends, VR or virtual reality is aggressively shaping up the world of gaming, Vive and Oculus Rift has opened the windows of opportunities for new possibilities in the gaming industry, there is a lot more to come though. Mozilla and Google have already started working on APIs to assist virtual reality technology’s transition to website. Within 2017 we may witness various applications that may rely on VR.

 

3. Internet of Things (IoT):

With the help of it we now would be able to operate non-internet things like our kitchen toasters, motors and other home appliances remotely; it may also enable one to detect weaknesses and cracks in these appliances. The involvement of web developers may not be required directly however they services may be needed while building apps that may work with the IoT. However, one thing is for sure, i.e. web developers will be facing some challenges and feeling the heat due to the influx of internet of things.

 

4. Rails 5:

This is the newest version that was released last year in the month of June. It may be young still and in its early days in the world of IT, expectations though are that it will reach the peak of popularity by the end of 2017. Web developers will enjoy it the most due to its interesting features, ‘aka – now for the science part, can be a good example here.

Added features Turbolinks 5, that enables the dev teams to build single page applications with the help of Rails stack, ActionCable, a newer approach to utilize websockets in Rails so as to build real time apps etc. and the merger of all time popular rails_api into its codebase are the areas to watch in 2017. To benefit from this dynamic framework to the best possible extents, getting in touch with a specialist web development company would be one’s best bet.

 

5. Angular 2 and beyond:

The release of Angular 2 in 2016 opened the doors for quite a few makeshifts. For example the frontend of Google’s JavaScript framework has be revised and redesigned completely. It now relies on benefits of JS ES6’s features and apps are coded in TypeScript and this has enabled them to move in the direction of further content driven design.

It now takes advantage of JavaScript ES6’s features, applications are written in TypeScript, and they now moved towards a more component driven architecture. It is planning to launch three minor updates during this year that in itself is a guarantee that further changes will be coming our way.

 

6. Yarn package manager:

These tools are very popular, especially for the frontend JS perspective. Developers enjoy the ease that is offered by them when it comes to updating, installing/uninstalling and configuring code modules that reside within their apps. Bower and NPM are the two most famous JS package managers and they will be joined shortly by a new package manager that has been launched by Facebook in association with Google, Exponent and Tilde. This of course is going to boost the popularity to further extents in 2017.

 

7. Static website generators:

Plain text generators that are usually stored in files is used to create a static website. There may be some advantages associated with this type when generators like Jekyll are utilized, these advantages could be security, amplified efficiency, easy deployments and traffic surges handling. There is no real time content offered by them though, a good example here would be comments that have gained serious importance in the modern world of web.

Experts are of the view that these generators with their associated features may make things further simplifies and easy for developers in 2017.

In depth knowledge and further study about the aforementioned areas surely will prove to be the visa to your success. As far as developing in the best possible manner that is in line with the above elite trends, you would need to get in touch with a professional web development company.
