In my opinion web development is only necessary for writing (quick and dirty) user interfaces. The essential part, the logic and the algorithms will be behind these interfaces and packages are almost non existent in that domain. The best you can get is for example an XML parser to parse the file to get the essential information to start building your data structures and implement the logic,which is the hardest part for computer scientist the actual math! I can see why one could state that web development is just copying/pasting, as most of the web developers are something between a ui designer/dev-ops specialist which on occasion add some lines of code which they have to think about for 10 minutes tops. Most of the web development does not include hard math, data structures or complicated logic. In essence what you are doing is just moving around stuff others have written, which most of the time involves normalizing user input from fields or styling the interface... So yes, it is just copying and pasting.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
