Web development industry is known for its dynamic nature. 2018, in particular was a remarkable year with some notable advancements that gained immense popularity in a short span of time.
With new web development technologies being introduced faster than ever before, it’s very important to keep a track of the latest trends, techniques, and approaches in order to stay ahead in the competitive world.
Missed the latest updates? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! Here’s a rundown on top trends in web development that are expected to dominate 2019. Additionally, you will also read about top web technology stacks that are expected to dominate web development even in 2019.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
AI and Machine Learning are changing the user experience in ways not seen before. Using Artificial Intelligence and machine learning applications, problems related to user experience, security, coding etc can be easily identified, without direct input from developers. The software itself analyzes incoming data, detects patterns, and makes decisions to implement the necessary improvements.
For example, using AI Twitter evaluates every single tweet in real time and provides them scores according to various metrics.
Then with the help of some algorithms Twitter displays tweets that are likely to drive the most engagement. The machine learning tech makes those decisions based on users’ individual preferences on the popular social networking platform.
Progressive Web Apps
Progressive Web Apps that take forward – the mobile first philosophy, represent the next advancement in web-mobile apps genre after Responsive web design. They utilize modern web abilities to provide an experience that is similar to the application in mobile phones. Providing the features similar to mobile applications, without actually needing to download such features from App store or Play store, progressive web apps provide improved user retention and performance, minus the hassles involved in mobile application maintenance.
One-Page Websites
Considering the latest standards as well as the behavior of the internet users, it is clear that the website development trends in the coming years will be based on the principle of speed and convenience. Single page websites is a paradigm of the modern web design in which all the information that needs to be conveyed can be placed in a single document.

Web Development Stacks
Angular JS
Despite the introduction of newer technologies, Angular JS still remains the future of enterprise-scale Web applications. It allows you to get the things done in a quick and easy way and simplifies front-end development process by developing accessible, readable and expressive environment. Some reasons why it is here to stay:
· In Angular JS, HTML is used to cater to user-centric quality content through two-way data binding.
· It is designed to create single page applications with flexibility.
· Scalable apps can be developed using it that can be used in various devices.
· It can be used to develop highly-efficient and sophisticated next-gen applications.
MEAN stack
MEAN, which is an acronym for MongoDB (a database), Express.js (a web framework), Angular (a front-end framework), and Node.js (backend, is used to develop web applications).
The obvious advantage of this stack is that all of its components use JavaScript, so it lets the developers write the entire code in JavaScript; from client to server.
Vue.JS
Vue.JS is a younger JS framework, but it is definitely holds some great promises for the future of web development as it is a lightweight solution. One of the biggest advantages of Vue.JS is that it is flexible, which makes it perfect for developing cross-platform applications and Progressive web applications.
Node.JS
Node.JS is an application runtime environment, which is used to build server-side applications. It is certainly the age of the UI, and Node.js is what made it possible. Node.js is the common ground for web, back-end and mobile development, enabling the same team of developers to deliver a full cycle of software development services for user-oriented, lightweight apps with complex UI/UX.
Django
Django is a Python web framework, which can be used with any frontend framework. Due to the availability of a number of third-party packages, it is an amazing solution for basically any type of website. With Python’s rising popularity, Django is worth considering for backend of your web application.
Modern devices, design trends, user experiences and consumer expectations are changing every year, affecting the web development patterns in a big way.
