ONLINE PLATFORMS AND APPLICATIONS

• The term ” Platform “ refers to a program created by developers that can be modified or reprogrammed by outside users. It is a facility for programming or developing an application tailored to the user’s specifications. Online platforms or online website created to aid users in creating their web content and cater to different kinds of information such as texts, images, and videos. Another unique feature of online platforms is the ability to program, modify, and access the application remotely using the internet.

• The demand in computational function and administrative facilities in computing machines intended to perform different applications gave birth to the field of platform development and creation. The first effort of humans to create development platforms and online platforms can be traced back to the start of programmable computers.

The formula translating system FORTRAN, the first successful commercial programming language complier, help humans give instructions and interact with computers without altering the hardware component of the computer since then, Programming advanced and gained popularity altogether.

FORTRAN and its successor with operated offline or without connectivity with other computing devices. The program is solely tailored to the local device and for a customize function. This offline feature was broken when Tim Berners-Lee introduced the world wide web. The sudden demand for online information grew.

The demand in creation of online content started to spread. The direction of platform development was altered and online platform development gained popularity. Furthermore, the development of content was offered not just for developers but for the general public as well.
