Web Applications - Spaghetti Code for the 21st Century
Overview The software industry is currently in the middle of a paradigm shift. Applications are increasingly written for the World Wide Web rather than for any specific type of an operating system, computer or device. Unfortunately, the technologies used for web application development violate well-known software engineering principles. Furthermore, they have reintroduced problems that had already been eliminated years ago in the aftermath of the "Spaghetti code wars" of the 1970s. This paper investigates web application development from the viewpoint of established software engineering principles. The paper argues that current web technologies are inadequate in supporting many of these principles. However, it also argues that there is no fundamental reason for web applications to be any worse than conventional applications in any of these areas.
