orthography - Spelling "web development" with/without hyphen




I'm trying to check the correctness of translation of some university courses from my native language to English... Is it correct to spell "web development" with hyphen?



I'm quite sure that "Web Development" is correct. Is "Ruby on Rails Web-development" correct, too?



While I remember coming across "web-..." in adjectives (for example, "web-based"), I don't remember any cases of spelling "web" with hyphen in nouns...


Answer



Web-development is incorrect.
Hyphenated adjectives are used when they qualify a noun.
like Web-based Frameworks




Web Development has evolved to be an umbrella term and hence should be treated as a non hyphenated noun
