In this world of digitalization, there is a greater demand for new and advanced technologies. As a result, software trends across every business verticals are continuously changing to match their needs. This is what brings new surprises in the realm of full-stack development. In this blog, we will list out some key trends in full-stack development in 2019. Here is the list:

1. Language Trends

JavaScript:

It is one of the most adaptable and powerful languages that can be used by developers. Javascript tops in the list of trending languages and it’s a core component for any web technology. Stack Overflow has ranked JavaScript as the most commonly used programming language in their Annual Survey of 2018, for the sixth year in a row.
It is interesting to note that among the most frequently used frameworks, libraries, and tools, JavaScript-based Technologies such as Angular Development, React.js Development, and Vue.js Development is on top of the list. Nearly every data-processing device that is in use today runs on JavaScript, including smartphones, Apple Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, Android OS, smart TVs, etc. It is used in some of the popular sites such as Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Amazon, etc.

There are various reasons that make JavaScript one of the trending languages of 2019. Let’s look at a few of them:

1. - JavaScript has an edge when compared with other languages since it can be used to develop complex applications with a wide range of frameworks and libraries cost-effectively.
  - Javascript is one of the fastest programming languages that are available today.
  - For most of us, JavaScript is known to be a client-side programming language. Javascript can also be used in server-side frameworks like Node or Node.js.
  - When compared to other languages, JavaScript is frequently updated with new versions.

Python:

Python is an OOPs based high-level programming language that was initially created by Guido Van Rossum in 1991. Even today, Python continues to be on the list of the most trending technologies. Programming in Python is comparatively easy when compared to other languages due to its simple and easy-to-use syntax. Although Python is a general-purpose language, Python can be used for building complex technologies such as AI, Deep Learning, Machine Learning and so on.

Reasons that make python one of the trending languages of 2019.

- - Python is platform-independent, it can run on multiple platforms including Linux, Windows, macOS, Unix, etc.
  - Python comes with plenty of prebuilt libraries and frameworks, that can be utilized for easy coding.
  - Some examples of popular frameworks of python include Django, Flask, tornado, etc. Programming in Python is comparatively easy when compared to other languages due to its simple and easy-to-use syntax.

2. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is one of the most trending subjects in the tech industry nowadays. Artificial Intelligence leaves its trail on all verticals of our daily life which includes manufacturing, heavy engineering, mining, agriculture, and healthcare. Since the inception of Artificial Intelligence, there is an exponential growth in the execution of tasks performed by them.
We can add advanced AI capabilities to your software such as natural language processing, video analysis, weather forecasting, etc by utilizing various cloud infrastructure services such as AWS(Amazon Web Services), Google cloud, etc.
We will draw up some major AI trends that can help full-stack development in 2019:

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Artificial intelligence paved a new dimension to computer science by creating intelligent machines that function similar to that of human beings. Modern artificial intelligence can now emulate human interaction within a graphical user interface with the help of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). We can reduce a significant amount of human intervention in the future with the help of RPA. RPA can do this by recording tasks taken in the graphical User Interface such as button clicks and cursor moves and translating it into code. RPA can be taken as an advantage by organizations that have diverse and complicated systems that need to interact together fluidly. The data that an RPA can handle is structured while an AI can handle unstructured data. Artificial Intelligence can back RPA in areas where it lacks and can serve as a support to RPA.

Coding Assistance

Code Debugging is a tiresome and time-consuming task for most full-stack software developers. Full-stack developers can now get coding assistance and an automated bug fixing with the help of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technology. This can accelerate the lifecycle of software development itself.
By utilizing advanced Machine Learning techniques, we can develop intelligent coding assistants that can provide real-time code debugging for developers. Your code will be autocorrected by the assistant without the need for manual intervention.

3. IoT (Internet of Things)

IoT is defined as a network of interconnected computing devices that is capable to transfer data over a network without the requirement for an end to end human or computer interaction. A software that is backed by the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the best business software ideas that are available to companies right now. IoT can open up opportunities for building innovative products and services that are previously thought impossible.

Where can you employ IoT :

The data that is retrieved from IoT devices are usually real-time. This attribute helps enterprises to build software that helps them to address their business challenges. For example, some logistic companies are employing IoT sensors to efficiently track their shipments while on the sea or passing through ports or their facilities.

Advantages of switching to Software backed by IoT:

It helps businesses to gain improved insight into the performance of their business process. By harnessing IoT data, businesses can respond very rapidly to potential issues. IoT can deliver your enterprise with greater digitization of processes, this will in-turn help in the reduction of costs and gives a better ROI.

4. Progressive Web App

Mobile web experience got much better with the arrival of modern technology known as Progressive Web Application Development. PWAs are web applications that are integrated with native app-like features. PWA can be installed like a normal app on your phone.
When compared to native web apps, PWA apps are loaded with advanced and more user-friendly features like offline access, the app shell, and so on and give users a more immersive experience.

Advantages of switching to PWA:

- Progressive web apps are highly responsive. They can fit any form factor of your devices such as mobile, desktop, or tablets.
- Progressive web apps serve users with an app-like experience.
- Progressive web apps provide high data security and will get faster updates.

Up until now, we have observed some amazing key trends in full-stack development in 2019 that can create a positive impact on your business. These trends will give the software development company a clear and precise insight for developing futuristic applications.
