Web development trends 2020

Here are some web trends for 2020:

Responsive web design in 2020 should be a given because every serious project that you create should look good and be completely usable on all devices. But there’s no need to over-complicate things.

Web Development in 2020: What Coding Tools You Should Learn article gives an overview of recommendations what you learn to become a web developer in 2020.

You might have seen Web 3.0 on some slides. What is the definition of web 3 we are talking about here?
There seems to be many different to choose from… Some claim that you need to blockchain the cloud IOT otherwise you’ll just get a stack overflow in the mainframe but I don’t agree on that.

Information on the web address bar will be reduced on some web browsers. With the release of Chrome 79, Google completes its goal of erasing www from the browser by no longer allowing Chrome users to automatically show the www trivial subdomain in the address bar.

You still should target to build quality web site and avoid the signs of a low-quality web site. Get good inspiration for your web site design.

Still a clear and logical structure is the first thing that needs to be turned over in mind before the work on the website gears up. The website structure for search robots is its internal links. The more links go to a page, the higher its priority within the website, and the more times the search engine crawls it.

You should upgrade your web site, but you need to do it sensibly and well. Remember that a site upgrade can ruin your search engine visibility if you do it badly. The biggest risk to your site getting free search engine visibility is site redesign. Bad technology selection can ruin the visibility of a new site months before launch. Many new sites built on JavaScript application frameworks do not benefit in any way from the new technologies. Before you go into this bandwagon, you should think critically about whether your site will benefit from the dynamic capabilities of these technologies more than they can damage your search engine visibility. Well built redirects can help you keep the most outbound links after site changes.

If you go to the JavaScript framework route on your web site, keep in mind that there are many to choose, and you need to choose carefully to find one that fits for your needs and is actively developed also in the future.
JavaScript survey: Devs love a bit of React, but Angular and Cordova declining. And you’re not alone… a chunk of pros also feel JS is ‘overly complex’

Keep in mind the recent changes on the video players and Google analytics. And for animated content keep in mind that GIF animations exists still as a potential tool to use.

Keep in mind the the security. There is a skill gap in security for many. I’m not going to say anything that anyone who runs a public-facing web server doesn’t already know: the majority of these automated blind requests are for WordPress directories and files. PHP exploits are a distant second. And there are many other things that are automatically attacked. Test your site with security scanners.
APIs now account for 40% of the attack surface for all web-enabled apps. OWASP has identified 10 areas where enterprises can lower that risk. There are many vulnerability scanning tools available. Check also How to prepare and use Docker for web pentest . Mozilla has a nice on-line tool for web site security scanning.

The slow death of Flash continues. If you still use Flash, say goodbye to it. Google says goodbye to Flash, will stop indexing Flash content in search.

Use HTTPS on your site because without it your site rating will drop on search engines visibility. It is nowadays easy to get HTTPS certificates.

Write good content and avoid publishing fake news on your site. Finland is winning the war on fake news. What it’s learned may be crucial to Western democracy,

Think to who you are aiming to your business web site to. Analyze who is your “true visitor” or “power user”. A true visitor is a visitor to a website who shows a genuine interest in the content of the site. True visitors are the people who should get more of your site and have the potential to increase the sales and impact of your business. The content that your business offers is intended to attract visitors who are interested in it. When they show their interest, they are also very likely to be the target group of the company.

Should you think of your content management system (CMS) choice? Flexibility, efficiency, better content creation: these are just some of the promised benefits of a new CMS. Here is How to convince your developers to change CMS.

    For “habitual sharers,” the spread of misinformation often isn’t intentional but actually because the response to sharing something—namely likes and further reshares—creates something resembling a reward system.

    For Facebook addicts, clicking is more important than facts or ideology
    Once clicking “share” becomes habitual, the content of what’s shared matters less.
    https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/01/for-facebook-addicts-clicking-is-more-important-than-facts-or-ideology/?utm_source=facebook&utm_brand=ars&utm_social-type=owned&utm_medium=social

    It’s fair to say that, once the pandemic started, sharing misinformation on social media took on an added, potentially fatal edge. Inaccurate information about the risks posed by the virus, the efficacy of masks, and the safety of vaccines put people at risk of preventable death. Yet despite the dangers of misinformation, it continues to run rampant on many social media sites, with moderation and policy often struggling to keep up.

    If we’re going to take any measures to address this—something it’s not clear that social media services are interested in doing—then we have to understand why sharing misinformation is so appealing to people. An earlier study had indicated that people care about making sure that what they share is accurate, but they fail to check in many cases. A new study elaborates that by getting into why this disconnect develops: For many users, clicking “share” becomes a habit, something they pursue without any real thought.

    How vices become habits
    People find plenty of reasons to post misinformation that have nothing to do with whether they mistakenly believe the information is accurate. The misinformation could make their opponents, political or otherwise, look bad. Alternately, it could signal to their allies that they’re on the same side or part of the same cultural group. But the initial experiments described here suggest that this sort of biased sharing doesn’t explain a significant amount of information.

    Overall, accurate stories were shared at a much higher rate (32 percent versus just 5 percent of false headlines). But a subset of subjects who shared the most stories—those with the strongest Facebook habit—shared fake and real stories at roughly equal rates. As a result, just 15 percent of the participants were responsible for nearly 40 percent of the fake stories that were shared.

    To the researchers, this suggested that sharing misinformation isn’t necessarily indicative of bias; instead, it’s a problem of a subset of users who just habitually click share (with habit being defined as involving “limited reflection, inattention”).

    by Taras Buria — Google has announced the release of the WebGPU API for its browser. Starting with Chrome 113, the world’s most popular browser includes instructions for high-performance 3D graphics on the web.

    https://www.neowin.net/news/chrome-113-finally-delivers-webgpu-support-enabling-high-performance-3d-graphics-on-the-web/

    WebGPU is a new web standard and instruction set for hardware-accelerated graphics and computing developed by engineers from Google, Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft, and other companies. Like DirectX, Metal, and Vulkan, WebGPU allows rendering directly on a graphics processing unit (GPU), with access to more advanced features (unlike WebGL). WebGPU promises to reduce the JavaScript workload for the same graphics and more than 3x improvements in machine learning model interfaces.

    Developers can draw images using WebGPU with highly-detailed scenes and many different objects (CAD models, for example), execute advanced algorithms for drawing realistic scenes, and run machine learning models more efficiently with better access to the GPU.

    Microsoft fixes 5-year-old Windows Defender bug that was killing Firefox performance
    Too many calls to the Windows kernel were stealing 75% of Firefox’s thunder
    https://www.techspot.com/news/98255-five-year-old-windows-defender-bug-killing-firefox.html

    Why it matters: Microsoft has released a crucial bug-fixing update to its Windows Defender antimalware application. Its arrival means that some unlucky Firefox users should now get a much smoother and better-performing experience while browsing the web.

    For more than five years, the troublesome security protection provided by Microsoft Defender was negatively affecting Firefox users during their web browsing sessions. The Antimalware Service Executable component of Defender (MsMpEng.exe) was acting strange, showing a high CPU usage when Firefox was running at the same time.

    Users were complaining that Defender was stressing the CPU while the Mozilla browser became laggy and unresponsive. The issue was first reported 5 years ago, and it was seemingly a Firefox exclusive as it was sparing Edge and other third-party browsers like Chrome.

    In March 2023, Mozilla developers were able to finally discover the source of the issue: while Firefox was running, MsMpEng.exe was executing a very high number of calls to the OS kernel’s VirtualProtect function while tracing Windows events (ETW). VirtualProtect is a function to change the “protection on a region of committed pages in the virtual address space of the calling process,” Microsoft explains, and Defender was doing a lot of “useless computations” upon each event while Firefox was generating a lot of ETW events.

    This was an “explosive” combination that was using five times the CPU power with Firefox compared to other browsers, the Mozilla developers said. The open-source foundation worked with Microsoft to solve the issue for good, and Redmond finally delivered with a recent update for Defender’s antimalware engine (1.1.20200.2).

    After testing the bugfix for a while, the solution was delivered to the stable channel with updated Defender antimalware definitions on April 4 (mpengine.dll version 1.1.20200.4) and the bug was finally closed. Mozilla developers said that the Defender update would provide a massive ~75% improvement in CPU usage while browsing the web with Firefox.

    Microsoft is also bringing the update to the now obsolete Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems, as Firefox will keep supporting the two operating systems “at least” until 2024. Furthermore, Mozilla engineers said that the “latest discoveries” made while analyzing the weird Defender bug would help Firefox “go even further down in CPU usage,” with all the other antivirus software and not just Defender this time.

    It Isn’t WebAssembly, But It Is Assembly In Your Browser
    https://hackaday.com/2023/04/11/it-isnt-webassembly-but-it-is-assembly-in-your-browser/

    You might think assembly language on a PC is passe. After all, we have a host of efficient high-level languages and plenty of resources. But there are times you want to use assembly for some reason. Even if you don’t, the art of writing assembly language is very satisfying for some people — like an intricate logic puzzle. Getting your assembly language fix on a microcontroller is usually pretty simple, but on a PC there are a lot of hoops to jump. So why not use your browser? That’s the point of this snazzy 8086 assembler and emulator that runs in your browser. Actually, it is not native to the browser, but thanks to WebAssembly, it works fine there, too.

    Twitter is being removed from yet another big B2B platform. And this time it’s one of the biggest companies in the tech industry.

    Microsoft is going to drop Twitter from its Microsoft Advertising plan next week, according to the company.

    “Starting on April 25, 2023, Smart Campaigns with Multi-platform will no longer support Twitter,” Microsoft said(opens in a new tab). A similar email has begun to go out to Microsoft Advertising users stating that “Digital Marketing Center (DMC) will no longer support Twitter starting on April 25, 2023.”

    From that date, users will no longer be able to access their Twitter account through its Digital Marketing Center’s social media management tool, according to Microsoft. Users will also no longer be able to schedule, create, or manage tweets or tweet drafts. In addition, users won’t be able to view their past tweets and engagement on the Microsoft Advertising platform.

    Microsoft’s announcement comes just one day after Twitter owner Elon Musk appeared(opens in a new tab) at a major marketing and advertising conference.

    Solar Protocol Envisions A Solar-Powered Web
    https://hackaday.com/2023/04/21/solar-protocol-envisions-a-solar-powered-web/

    The transition to low carbon energy is an important part of mitigating climate change, and the faster we can manage, the better. One project looking at how we could reduce the energy requirements of the web to more quickly adopt renewable energy is Solar Protocol.

    Instead of routing requests to the fastest server when a user pulls up a website, Solar Protocol routes the request to the server currently generating the greatest amount of solar power. Once a user is on a website, the experience is energy-responsive. Website style and image resolution can range based on the power left in the active server’s batteries, including an image free low power mode.

    Another benefit to the project’s energy efficiency approach is a focus on only the essential parts of a page and not any of the tracking or other privacy-endangering superfluous features present on many other websites. They go into much more depth in the Solar Protocol Manifesto. As a community project, Solar Protocol is still looking for more stewards since the network can go down if an insufficient number of servers are generating electricity.

    Information is diesel for a hacker’s engine, and it’s fascinating how much can happen when you share what you’re working on. It could be a pretty simple journey – say, you record a video showing you fixing your broken headphones, highlighting a particular trick that works well for you. Someone will see it as an entire collection of information – “if my headphones are broken, the process of fixing them looks like this, and these are the tools I might need”. For a newcomer, you might be leading them to an eye-opening discovery – “if my headphones are broken, it is possible to fix them”.

    Max Tani / Semafor:
    With Facebook’s pivot away from news and Twitter’s decay, media outlets return to digital media’s foundational concepts of the early 2000s like homepage traffic

    It’s back to the future for a diminished digital news business
    https://www.semafor.com/article/04/23/2023/its-back-to-the-future-for-a-diminished-digital-news-business

    Homepage traffic, blogging, niche email newsletters. They were some of the foundational concepts of digital media in the early 2000s. And as the digital news media business turns again, they’re increasingly the ones media organizations are turning to.

    For the last decade, social media websites like Facebook and Twitter were the virtual front pages of the internet, delivering a mix of viral news and whatever articles and videos social algorithms thought you wanted. Digital publications popped up to take advantage of the eyeballs, and money followed, hoping the cat listicle website or the Brooklyn guide for do’s and don’ts could really be this generation’s New York Times or MTV.

    But Facebook’s sharp turn away from news and the mercy-killing of “blue check” Twitter, along with BuzzFeed News’s shutdown, cuts at Insider (the first official mass layoffs in the company’s history), and Vice’s increasing desperation for a sale are another indication that the social web that defined the 2010s is over for news consumers.

    And the new era, strangely, resembles an earlier one, suggesting that “the 2010s were a detour, not the new path forward,” as Slate editor-in-chief Hillary Frey put it last week.

    Just as streaming services start to look a lot like television, news too has turned back to the future. Across the board, many news publishers have noticed that readers aren’t finding their articles on Facebook or Twitter. They’re coming straight to them, loading up the webpages on their phones or desktop.

    The case of HuffPost — left for dead by Verizon, and now BuzzFeed’s lone surviving news operation — is instructive. Peretti told remaining staff that he was encouraged by the traffic to the homepage of HuffPost, one of the original link aggregators and blogs. Slimmed down by cuts, the liberal site is once again profitable on the back of dedicated homepage readership and advertisers’ willingness to support some of its safer content, which includes lifestyle and identity coverage.

    “We are going to concentrate our news efforts in HuffPost,”

    HuffPost isn’t alone. Fox News executives may not be pleased with the $787 million they’ll be forking over to Dominion Voting Systems in last week’s settlement. But they can take some solace in the fact that the outlet’s website, always one of the most trafficked in the US, has experienced a serious bump in traffic in recent months, particularly to the site’s homepage.

    more than 70% of the site’s visitors last month came directly to the Fox News homepage, with a small chunk from search, and a tiny trickle from social media.

    Beyond any bearishness among investors and media companies, part of the hesitation could be that it’s difficult to see around the corner to what the next evolution in digital media could be.

    “I’m less certain what we’re going back to,” Marshall said. “Is home page traffic coming back? Are people not going to use Twitter or some Twitter clone to serve them their news? It’s clear we’re moving in those directions or the trends of the last decade are kind of broken. But those are now really ingrained habits and I don’t think they’re going to go away quick. I’d love it if they would. But I’m skeptical.”

    “Maybe as we continue to journey ever backwards, next stop is the revival of print,” she said.

    On April 23, a Meta ad system glitch caused some campaigns to overspend beyond their daily cost cap; agencies say they have had “next to no feedback” from Meta

    More Than A Bug? Major System Error Causes Heavy Overspending On Meta Platforms
    https://www.adexchanger.com/mobile/more-than-a-bug-major-system-error-causes-heavy-overspending-on-meta-platforms/

    A bug or error in Meta’s ad system caused campaigns to overspend by more than double their daily spending cap during the wee hours of the morning on Sunday, according to numerous complaints on Twitter, LinkedIn and shared directly with AdExchanger.

    Due to the nature of cost capping, some brands lost only hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. But for some larger brands, Meta overspent by hundreds of thousands.

    This error is the latest and greatest in a long series of platform bugs affecting Meta advertisers over the past year and a half. Beyond the tech itself going screwy, account service layoffs at the company (and other Big Tech businesses) exacerbate the problem, because advertisers have little recourse when something crops up and Meta takes longer to fix the problem.

    “A technical issue that has been resolved caused ad delivery issues for some advertisers,” is the only on-record statement Meta gave to a list of questions submitted by AdExchanger about the incident.

    Still, many agencies and brands are holding back their campaigns until they’re sure the issue is fixed – and that isn’t simply due to wariness of the platform misfiring again, said one DTC brand marketer.

    The glitch, or whatever it was, causes real campaign budget to be spent, and that money hasn’t been refunded yet. Although the marketer said he does expect to be mostly refunded by Meta eventually, he can’t go back to the well for more budget in the meantime.

    During the early 90s, as the newly opened WWW began to gain traction with the public, the Mosaic browser formed the backbone of the WWW browsers (‘web browsers’) of the time, including Internet Explorer – which licensed the Mosaic code – and the Mosaic-based Netscape Navigator. With the WWW standards set by the – Berners-Lee-founded – World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the stage appeared to be set for an open and fair playing field for all.
