Web Development as a Creation
About Me
Hello everyone, Enomoto Ng from Hong Kong is here.
Start web development as a career since 2010, which Internet Explorer (IE) is the most popular web browser at that period.
Just a decade passed, web technologies has changed a lot. IE has gone and Safari becomes new IE, JavaScript becomes fullstack scripting languages that can run on almost everywhere, deploy is not just a FTP files upload, etc... But the unchanged is browsing internet stills by using web browser, HTML, CSS, JavaScript are still the bases on the first level for the communications with people.
Modern Web pages is not just pages for information, or the interface for data managements. It can be a online application or services that replacing standalone programs. Web pages is not just used in browsers, but also embeded in other standalone programs, or mobile applications. I am glad to have witnessed for those changes.
Despite on any stacks of web technologies, scripting is essential for everyone for web programming. Scripts for programming and scripts for programmes are differents, but similar as scripts are the storying telling for humanns, in finally. Human readable scripts are more important than fully optimised scripts, as those can be done by the specialist. Commnications with humans are more important for front-end developments, as it is the communications for users. I always keep connections with the designers, for getting optimised designs and interations for the user experiences.
For the rest of the day, random walk in the cities, take some random photos, watch youtube and reality shows can help me indirectly for web page creation.
