[edit] Web application development

Somebodies private essay article, with strong how-to aspects, covering an area that is already heavily covered. Artw 18:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

First, it's not a private essay article. I did gather some information on the subject. I started this article because I don't think this topic IS heavily covered, and I would like to see some community input. For example, what development methodologies do people developing web applications use? I couldn't find this information on Wikipedia. There's plenty of information on web design. And there's plenty of information on software development. But I haven't seen much about web application development.

Now, I'm making the distinction between web design and web application development. Are you making the same distinction between web design and web development? If so, maybe we could merge these articles, since I don't see nearly enough useful information on the web development page. DRogers 18:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

• Move to Wikibooks per nominator. -- RHaworth 03:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. What other articles cover this area? Web application development is certainly related to (or a subset of) software development, but anyone who has worked on both traditional software and web app projects will tell you that each has distinct challenges.

• Keep and clean up. If we decide to keep it, we should first determine what is and isn't in scope and what level of detail is appropriate. There's a bunch of info on here about software development, but not how it relates to web app development. DRogers 04:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete It has the flavor of a how-to article, and is not able to go into detail anywhere. The result is an article that just sounds like common sense. EdJohnston 15:05, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
