Introduction

As we all know, web development is a very vast and wide field. The career path in this field can come in a different way, shape or form.

It is not uncommon to have individuals who want to come into the industry ask, “what path should I start with?”

The different career paths that can be taken in web development includes Mobile App Development, UI/UX Design, Game Development, Software Testing, Database Administration, Systems Analysts, SEO Specialists and a lot more.

The goal of this article is not to discuss the aforelisted professions. The goal, however, is to look at some of the various technical terms which are used in the world of Web Development from A - Z.

AJAX

This stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. It first appeared on March 1999.

It is a tool used by web developers to build interactive web applications. AJAX enables developers to send and receive data without refreshing a web page.

AJAX relies on Html and CSS to render a markup, and javascript to get data asynchronously from the server.

Accessibility

This involves the practice of making a website or an application accessible to everyone, especially people with disabilities.

The benefits of making a website accessible to everyone cannot be over-emphasised.

It is important for both the developers and the users of an application.

The power of the Web is in its universality.

Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web

Accessibility can be the difference between a product being seen as high or low quality in the market, and should not be ignored.
