Introduction
Web development has come a long way from its early days of static HTML pages and simple CSS designs. Over the years, the fi...

The article is absent examples which would help to illustrate the elements mentioned. The article could have been written by AI, it doesn't actually say what elements like an API are, what REST is or how they function.
REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It is a software architectural style designed to define a set of constraints used for creating web services. Web services that conform to REST constraints are referred to as RESTful web services. REST was presented and outlined back in the year 2000 by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation.
Key Concepts of REST:
Statelessness: Every client-to-server request should contain all of the knowledge that the server requires to process and complete that particular request. Nothing about the session would be stored at the server pertaining to the request. This makes the communication stateless.
Client-Server Architecture: In REST, it follows a client-server architecture. The client and server are independent of each other. The client will send a request, and then the server processes the request and returns the proper response.
Uniform Interface: A system representing REST applies a predefined and uniform set of stateless operations. This eases and decouples architecture, allowing each part to evolve independently.
Cacheability: Responses from the server should indicate whether it is cacheable or otherwise, and clients can use this information in caching responses for some time to enhance performance.
Layered System: The architecture can have multiple layers. Every layer need not know beyond that layer immediately below or above it. This will provide a modular approach and improve scalability.
Code on Demand(Optional): Servers can extend the functionality of client by transferring executable code, for example, in the form of JavaScript.
Development of REST:
REST is being further developed and improved by its use in new fields. It is still very popular for creating an API, with a focus on web services. Developers are still creating new libraries, tools, and frameworks that support RESTful design while ensuring its scalability, security, and performance in modern applications.
It has also indirectly or directly inspired newer paradigms like GraphQL, trying to fix some of the limitations one has as a developer with REST, for example, over-fetching or under-fetching data. REST stays, still, at the heart of web services and API design.
Those Article is Written By Prompt...Yes But This Reply is Not. Want More Info Check the Codecademy Blog
Article? I thought it was a comment.
"Those article" not correctly translated to English.
C'mon, folks! You Can Do Better.
Just Another Example Is That In English, Nor Every Word In A Sentence Is Capitalized.
Do Better.
Yes this is a comment, but maybe He wanted to know a little more information. That's why I write comments like articles. Yes, the next content will be better than the previous ones. Since the above article is written with prompts. By the way the next articles will be Human Written.
It probably WAS written by AI, minor editing done, then simply published as-is.
Unfortunately, many (lazy) writers today simply don't know how to properly utilize AI to plan, research, & organize an article. So, they just use AI to write the article.
But there's a big difference in the output.
They don't realize that many people can tell the difference, and it will one day cost them their job.
Once it has gotten to that point, it's doubtful they'll ever be hired again as a writer. But, it's not too late for this writer, if he goes about it properly...and quickly. Before his laziness gets noticed.
Unfortunately, many (lazy) writers today don't know how to properly use AI to plan, yes you are right. They don't even know how to write or modify prompts. I have been doing research and experiment on prompt engineering for more than 1 year. Do you know that Google will SEO your content when it is 70% written by human and the rest is 30% AI, there is no problem. But my previous content are some of human Written. They don't get that kind of traffic.
The OP stinks of the Artificial Intelligence;
it is not hallucinating, but it is outdated information!
Thank you for your feedback. I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, but I acknowledge that sometimes content may not meet current standards. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, and I'll take your comments into consideration for future improvements. If you have any specific points where you noticed outdated information, I'd be grateful if you could share them so I can address them more effectively.
I Think You are too Confused in this Article. You Can Read This: Codecademy Blog
PWAs are doomed to fail. Support on iOS is just terrible and only getting worse as more and more sheeple buy into the Apple ecosystem.
Sustainability in web development is just not a thing. Period. It's a thing in the media, but I haven't heard a single actual developer take the environmental impact of a line of code into account. It just won't happen. Companies who claim this are just greenwashing.
Not a bad article, though it feels very ChatGPT. It's one of those articles that I want to rewrite with more insightful information. The title is a bit clickbaity, since most of these technologies are at least a decade old, but it's good, solid info for new devs. Still... JAMStack is not the future, it's largely the present wherever SEO isn't a concern (server-side renders [SSR] allow for partial JAMStack at best). PWAs are hardly a hybrid of Web and mobile—apps built in Web technologies and then wrapped in native webview (a la Cordova and such) are. PWAs are just Web with mobile considerations. And I'm surprised not to see Web Components on a list like this. A decent library built around Web Components could take the other frontend libraries out at the knees.
@Horace Nelson: Thank you for that clarification. In particular of PWAs.
I thought as much, but was confused by the "article."
I am by NO means a Web Developer OR a "coder," but merely a dabbler.
Still, I like to keep up with the tech, to know what's possible, what's effective, and what's old and superceded.
Again, thank you!
Thank you for the article. What could then be an roadmap for a beginner today ?

Wow, PWAs trending again, ten years after!
great write :-)
