Web Applications: technologies and models<\/a><\/h3>\n

An analysis of Web Application frameworks<\/h4>\n

Edizioni Accademiche Italiane ( 12.06.2014 )<\/small><\/p>\n

\"Web<\/a><\/p>\n

The book is a survey and an analysis of the technologies used in the development of a web application, paying attention to the architectures and the models. The survey is not exhaustive but it gives an outlook of all players involved in a web application development. <\/span><\/p>\n

At first we have analyzed:<\/span><\/p>\n

a) <\/span><\/span>web browser architecture and functionalities<\/b><\/span><\/span>: it represents the client part of a web application;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

b) <\/span><\/span>web server architecture and functionalities<\/b><\/span><\/span>: it is the more complex and active part of a web application.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then the technologies AJAX and REST have been examined, which have produced a paradigm shift in the web application design.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At last, in the light of the analyzed technologies, the various web application development approaches have been investigated by an appropriate level of abstraction. The state management mechanisms and the event-loop both on the client-side and on the server-side have been the main issue in the investigation because of stateless nature of HTTP protocol.
