Below are 5 of the main ways the internet is going to change over the coming years. Unlike the transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0, the transition to Web 3.0 will be a much bigger deal, because of the sheer amount of people using the internet.

Classes add a lot of functionality to your code and help to stop you repeating yourself over and over again as you might in conventional code. With classes and functions you’ll be able to make generic scripts that you can simply call when you need them.

Not only this but classes make your coding a lot more tidy, so you can usually find everything you’re looking for. When you know how to use them they can really speed up the speed at which you’re working.

Web Development is a pretty hectic field, with loads of stuff to remember in a constantly moving and updating field of work. It can be a bit hard then, to try and keep track of all the little details in all those coding languages you spent hours learning. When I’m coding I find myself googling for a certain function every few minutes to check it exists, and this wastes valuable time.

Luckily, a load of lovely web developers have created little things called Cheat Sheets, which let you reference the basics of languages really fast from one sheet. Below I present you with 15 essential cheat sheets for you to reference till your hearts content.

In the beginning typography wasn’t really an issue, as there was no real interface for the user. However, as the web advanced typography became a bigger issue, and no longer was it okay to be left with mediocre typography and illegibility on a now very graphically based web.

In the far out reaches of the globe, a group of people were working, working on something that would change the web’s face completely. The W3C completed CSS1 in 1996, and with it came a slew of font related CSS elements. Finally, the humble web developer was no longer confined by illegibility and bad typography. He was free, free to create what he chose, and with a smile on his face, and a keyboard in his hand, he walked into the distance, ready to create a new era in web design.

Over the past few years web designs have became more and more intricate, especially for websites that don’t revolve around content but a service.

In fact, many more artistic web designers have started adding lovely illustrations and characters (mascots) into their designs to create a more visually pleasing website.

Below I’ve outlined 8 of the coolest new things coming to a browser near you, or that has already been partially implemented into some browsers.
