Web app development has experienced a paramount shift

over the last 5 years. Mobile devices have exploded.

Consumer applications have largely surpassed business

applications in both capabilities and overall simplicity.

Build For Usability

While always essential, usability has now become an absolute

necessity. After all, user expectations have increased as well.

They expect the well-designed, intuitive interfaces they receive

on their smartphones and consumer applications. These days,

users have options. If the application confuses the user, they’ll

find something else.

Talk to users early and often

Develop in small, agile cycles

Measure Everything

Platform Fragmentation

One of the biggest hurdle faced developers today is platform

fragmentation. You no longer know how users will access your

applications. Maybe they’ll use a PC. Maybe they’ll use a

smartphone or tablet. You don’t know, and you can’t control it.

Use APIs Wisely

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) is an essential aspect

of modern application development, as they let web developers

develop applications that include data from other applications.

However, APIs must be used wisely. Why? As any developer

using the Twitter API over the last couple of years will tell you,

API changes are often sudden and drastic, and can negatively

impact your application.

Organize Code

In the past, traditional programming methods often resulted in

large, imposing applications. They were independent of other

applications, and every function of the application was

programmed into the code itself. As you can imagine, this

structure created maintenance nightmares.

Stick To Well Known Technologies

Developers love trying new things. They love experimenting

with new libraries, frameworks, languages, tools, etc. There’s

nothing wrong with that.

However, it becomes a problem when developers carry that

over into business apps development. For instance, if you develop

a new business application using a brand new language, you take

a big risk. What if that language never takes off? Now you’re stuck

with an application built on an unpopular language that may or may

not work well with existing technologies. While experimentation with

the latest and greatest technology is fine, when building business

applications, stick with established technologies.
