I would like to thank all my outstanding professors at ITIC Paris for their valuable education.

Abstract

The key to having successful and fully functional web applications is in their communication with the user. Website design & web development is no longer just about publishing your brochure on the Internet. Whether it's about establishing your identity, developing/enhancing an existing identity, producing a periodical online publication, producing an entertainment site, or exchanging data with your partners/clients, your website must do something for its audience.

I worked closely with expert developers to analyse and develop new web applications. I pushed boundaries to create web designs and solve every many problems faced in developing web applications.

I. Introduction

As a part of my Master studies I did a 6-months internship (15 April – 30 September, 2018) at a web Agency named BeClood.

This internship period was an opportunity provided me a great chance to relate my theoretical knowledge with the competitive and tough real job market environment. Moreover, if the internship period is within my master program, the skills that I have developed during the internship help me to gain a good experience in web development that will prepare me for the company and my future career. I joined BeClood as an intern on 15 April 2018. The expectations were high and now almost nearing the end of my internship I must admit that it was really a wonderful experience.

I was lucky to get the opportunity to complete my industrial attachment at BeClood, is a leading Website design and software company and developing software from a long ago in Montpellier, I consider myself timely to get the chance to take a deep look to their development methodology, working models, deals and industrial behaviour. I intended to look into the web development industry and how it looks like, what are their rules, responsibilities and environment. Obviously they work with almost every platform and technology. I worked with the part of Web Development team and generated ideas based on their development technology. The journey wasn’t that simple. There were many obstacles, new technologies that I have to handle with, yet after overcoming each challenge I had discovered a new potential within myself. The skills that I have gathered are priceless to me and I cannot wait to apply those in real life job. In addition to that, some of the non-technical skills that I have procured, combined with those technical skills will certainly prove handy in my future jobs.
