Google Chrome, then, is by far the most used browser, accounting for well over
half of all web traffic, followed by Safari in a distant second place. The combined
IE & Edge comes in third, with Firefox in fourth. Opera is fifth with about 3
percent of global web traffic.

Pre-processors like Sass and Less were the vanguard of “CSS 2.0”. At a time
where the language itself could seem pretty stagnant, they introduced new
features like variables and nesting by introducing a compile step to the mix.
The “overall” column shows overall usage for each technology (respondents who
selected “would use again” or “would not use again”), while the following columns
show the usage ratio for each “years of experience” bracket.

React tops the list and has been voted as the most “wanted “and most
“loved” web framework. It is closely followed by Vue this year. Angular
seems to be losing its popularity compared to the previous years.

in-2018-e9f9c9d544ff

According to Stack Overflow’s survey, Angular remains the world’s most popular
front-end framework.

Angular is a full framework with all the tooling and best practices designed on top
of it. Much like React and Vue, Angular encourages you to use components,
splitting your UI into separated and reusable pieces.

In today’s world, data is the key element for any business. Engineers are
constantly thinking to deliver the data in a format which is crisp and
understandable.

XML has been one of the major data format used invariably. Initially, XML was
restricted to only Web UI section, but when eventually the IT industry saw data
boom, more and more people inclined towards Service Oriented Architecture.

JSON is now the most popular data format in web development today and so many
web developers are now using it.

Another common data format web developer should know about is the CSV, which
formats data using commas.
