Following the usual software engineering life cycles (like the one proposed by the Rational Unified Process, for instance), the development of web applications could not start before a complete set of requirements was written, a lot of Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams were drawn, and tons of preliminary documentation were produced. This was due to the general speed of development, to the lack of versatility of programming languages (you had to build, compile, restart, and who knows what else before actually seeing your program run), and most of all, to the fact that clients were quite reasonable and didn't change their minds constantly. +Programming web applications has long been a tedious and slow job.

Today, business moves faster, and clients tend to constantly change their minds in the course of the project development. Of course, they expect the development team to adapt to their needs and modify the structure of an application quickly. Fortunately, the use of scripting languages like Python, Ruby, and PHP makes it easy to apply other programming strategies, such as rapid application development (RAD) or agile software development. @@ -186,7 +186,7 @@ ### YAML -According to the official YAML [website](http://www.yaml.org/), YAML is "is a human friendly data serialization standard for all programming languages".
