Introduction to the Web Application Development Environment (Tools)

In this tutorial, Selena Sol steps back from the realm of specific
technologies and focuses on a general survey of web application
development.
In doing so, Sol provides a broad framework with which you can
make sense of
the mosaic of available technologies, programming languages,
standards and
protocols, and tools. By the end, you should not only have a
good idea of
what you need to learn in order to get up to speed today, but you should
also understand how technologies, even future technologies, fit
into the big picture.

Why This Tutorial?
One of the questions most frequently asked about web application
development goes something along the lines of,
"I am interested in becoming a web developer,
but I don't know where to begin. There seems to be so many
technologies in the field of web development that I feel lost.
How do all these technologies relate to each other, which ones
do I need to learn in order to be considered a serious
professional, and which one should I learn first?"
Well, in this tutorial, I intend to answer this question by
stepping back from the realm of specific technologies and
focusing on a general survey of web application development.
In doing so, I'll try to provide a broad framework
with which you can make sense of the mosaic of available
technologies, programming languages, standards and protocols,
and tools.
By the end, you should not only have a good idea of what you
need to learn in order to get up to speed today, but you should
also understand how technologies, even future technologies,
fit into the big picture.
