Emerging Web Technologies

I will be updating this article indefinitely as I am constantly eyeing for emerging technologies particularly in web development, rich media development, social media development, user interface, user experience, software and hardware, third-party services, development processes and systems administration. There are too many technologies and iterations available. To prevent conflicts and information overload, I am presenting these ideal rosters based on my personal opinion. If you think yours is more sensible to consider, due to environment and situation, than those included in this list, then feel free to alter some entries in this technology list.

I did summarize the technologies and libraries I would prefer for modern Web Development concerning Front-End:

• HTML5

I can conclude that if you are knowledgeable of the technologies listed above, you can call yourself a fully fledged web expert which is, in my own opinion, way better than a full-stack developer. You know how internet works, you know how software works with hardware, you can design and animate, you can program and develop applications, you can deploy and troubleshoot, you can analyze and optimize data, and most of all, you simply enjoy the evolution of internet technologies.
