Theoretical Frameworks and Practices in Web Technologies
Abstract
This chapter explores the convergence of theoretical frameworks and practical methodologies in modern web technologies. By integrating models such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Human-Centered Design (HCD), Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Hypertext Theory, and Actor-Network Theory (ANT), the chapter demonstrates how theory informs and enhances practices like responsive web design, RESTful APIs, and Progressive Web Apps (PWA). Supported by real-world case studies from education, healthcare, governance, and digital business, it highlights how theoretical foundations drive innovation, user experience, and ethical system design. Future trends such as AI-augmented UX, ethical design integration, and semantic web advancements are also examined to illustrate ongoing transformations in web development.
