Arquitetura Orientada a Componentes para uma Web Responsiva

Bibliographic Details
Summary:This MSc thesis concerns some of recently hottest topics of the Web Development field: it is still utopian, in 2015, to hope that in within a few years the world will see a world-wide fail-safe Internet connection, reachable to every human being; most of the Web Applications we use today still lack a lot when it comes to user experience, mainly when run in mobile devices; the development of quality Web Applications, able to answer most of the needs of the wide Web community is still too complex nowadays and in many cases only an option to large and experienced development teams. There are now, however, four recent technologies that bring some solution proposals to some of these problems: Web Components, Offline-first, Responsive Web Design and Single-Page Applications. This work will study those four technologies and explore the advantages and disadvantages their use, both together and separately. The goals is to propose a new front-end development architecture for the Web that enables developers to put less effort in the Web Applications development process and that provides the applications developed with the proposed architecture a rich user experience.
