Hour 8: Best Practices in Web Application Development
Best practices in web application development often evolve in response to the changing technological landscape. As of now, some key best practices include:
Planning Before Development: Take the time to thoroughly plan and design your application before you start coding. Maintain Simplicity: A simple design is easier to understand, easier to modify, and easier to test. Optimise for Performance: This includes minimising HTTP requests, using a Content Delivery Network (CDN), optimising images, minifying CSS, JavaScript, and HTML, and using browser caching. Prioritise Security: This includes practices like input validation, use of secure protocols, and regular updates and patches. Testing and Quality Assurance: This should include unit testing, integration testing, and system testing to ensure your application is working as expected.
