Nonwebbuilding

Nonwebbuilding refers to the creation of digital applications or systems that are not accessed or operated through a standard web browser. This encompasses a wide range of software development, distinguishing it from web development which focuses on websites and web applications.

Examples of nonwebbuilding include desktop applications, which run directly on a user's operating system such as Windows, macOS, or Linux. Mobile applications, designed for smartphones and tablets, also fall under this category, as they are installed and run on device-specific operating systems like iOS and Android, rather than being accessed via a browser.

Furthermore, nonwebbuilding extends to software for embedded systems, which are specialized computer systems found within larger devices, such as those in automotive systems, industrial machinery, or home appliances. Game development, particularly for standalone consoles or PC games not played in a browser, is another significant area.

The technologies and programming languages used in nonwebbuilding often differ from those common in web development. While web development frequently utilizes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server-side languages like Python or PHP, nonwebbuilding might employ languages such as C++, Java, C#, Swift, or Kotlin, depending on the target platform and application type. The development process also involves different considerations, including operating system compatibility, hardware performance, and user interface design for native environments.
