To understand where web development is going, we need a brief review of
web development history. Many years have gone since the old CGI bridge
was invented, a quick hack to achieve the impossible, create
server-based web applications. The first CGI based web applications were
C (and Perl) programs based on a terrific mix of HTML and printf calls.
This primitive approach was valid to build those "magic" dynamic web
pages constructed with our data introduced with forms. This was the
starting point of a race to improve the developer tools and the user
experience. The live web starts here.
