Web and mobile applications

The World Wild Web came out a long way from what it was 25 years ago when HTML was invented. People who have been around for a while may remember with nostalgia how did the first websites of different companies looked like at the beginnings as opposed to how they look nowadays.

Here is one of them just for fun. This is how Microsoft's website looked in 1995:


Interesting isn't it? What a far cry from nowadays slick-web2.0-mobile ready-social media ready-flash-interactive websites!

Let's take a look at the current website of the same company. Here is a snapshot:


Twenty years later, with the same fundamental technology at core, you have serious improvements: Windows 8.1 is presented in a video tour, the site is rich in content and graphics, slick and responsive and quite interactive. You have javascript and css used in there and the site is mobile ready. You can nicely and easily browse the content from a smart phone or a tablet. You can tell there is well structured data and databases behind the site who perform real time queries.

The web started as an academic/research project @ CERN where a group of scientists figured out a way to better organize and index information in order to present it to their professors for their lab and coursework.

With the growth of Internet and Internet technologies in the '90s, the web grue huge in popularity and it's nowadays "de-facto" standard in exchanging and presenting information electronically. You can't even think of another way nowadays to present documents, data and information than over the web.

The latest developments of the decade in mobile applications and social media gave the world wide web another dimension as well: the web now is a place where we socialize, keep in touch with friends and business associates, post pictures, movies and messages in real time. From wherever we are. And whenever we want. We now literally live and breathe on the web!

It is no surprise that under these circumstances, we Witty Mobile Apps, Inc. are running a web and mobile applications initiative. We've been there since the beginning and we saw this industry growing by bounds and leaps. Though we think we are still relatively early in the ages and the web is still an infant!

This is not a new business for us. We have been in business data driven web applications for a while for more than a decade now. It is though a turning point driven my the latest development in mobility and social media and we believe this is a huge wave to ride!

We write business oriented web and mobile applications that fast, slick, reliable and easy to use. Apps that are aligned with our customers business goals and deliver ROI.

While doing that we are also working on building and fostering a Miami based community of software developers, designers, business owners and media representatives to serve the growing needs for technology of a metro area that has not been historically seen as a technology hub but which is certainly evolving.

Keep an eye open on us as we will have tones of new information soon.

Make it a great day!
