Editing Web development (section)

=== Evolution of web development technologies ===
The journey of web development technologies began with simple [[HTML]] pages in the early days of the internet. Over time, advancements led to the incorporation of [[CSS]] for styling and [[JavaScript]] for interactivity. This evolution transformed static websites into dynamic and responsive platforms, setting the stage for the complex and feature-rich web applications we have today.
