Hypermedia Development. htmx and Hyperview

Experienced programmers who grew up alongside the World Wide Web did not pay much attention to the ideas of hypermedia. Meanwhile, young web developers know nothing but single-page applications and the frameworks used to create them.

"Obsolete" technology, suitable only for creating documents with links, text, and graphics? Nothing could be further from the truth! You have an effective technology at your disposal for building applications.

Get acquainted with new tools — htmx and Hyperview, which use hypermedia as a system architecture. Learn to build complex user interfaces using hypermedia as a foundational technology: based on htmx for web applications and on Hyperview for mobile ones. Then explore modern practical approaches to building web applications where this architecture is applied.

A hypermedia-driven architecture may not be suitable for every application, but increased flexibility and simplicity will be a huge advantage. Even if this approach doesn't improve your program, it's worth understanding its essence, strengths and weaknesses, and how it differs from the traditionally applied methodology. The web environment has grown faster than any other distributed system in history, and web developers must be able to leverage the strengths of the foundational technologies that made this growth possible.
