Today’s world is changing day by day. Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality (AR), Big Data, IOT and a lot of things exist in front of us. That is why a web developer must be proactive in learning new programming languages as well as new techniques. Today I am going to discuss several web development and management tools and resources for 2020 that will help web developers managing a company/firm or individual client.

Behind all the web development tools is language. A programming language is a formal constructed language which is designed to communicate with the computer and create programs in which we can control the behavior. There are so many programming languages such as- PHP, NodeJS, JavaScript, HTML5, Python, Ruby, Scala, CSS3, SQL, Golang, Rust, Elixir, TypeScript etc. I think as a web developer; you have already known details about these languages. You have to choose one or more than one particular language where you are good at.
