Different Languages
Used for Website Development
- Introduction :
Generally programming languages are used for web development
not for designing.Web Design:(Runs on client side) Normally HTML(Hypertext markup language) is used to design a web page. For
various styles and design, CSS(Cascading style sheets) are used. This is for
static web page where the content will be inside the page itself. javascript,
flash actionscript and ajax are used for rich internet application. Web application development:-(Normally runs on serverside) The languages like PHP,ASP,JSP,C#,PERL,PYTHON,RUBY are used. This is for
dynamic websites such as you get web page contents from database or elsewhere.
List of some languages is as below:
1.
HTML - HTML or Hyper Text
Markup Language is the standard markup language used to create web pages . HTML is written in the form of
HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like
<html>). HTML tags most commonly come in pairs
like <h1> and </h1>, although some tags represent empty
elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>.
The first tag in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is the end
tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags).
2.
CSS
- Cascading
Style- Sheet isn't much of a language, but more as a subset of HTML
that can be used to style your websites. Stands for "Cascading Style
Sheet." Cascading style sheets are used to format the layout of Web pages.
They can be used to define text styles, table sizes, and other aspects of Web
pages that previously could only be defined in a page's HTML. CSS helps Web
developers create a uniform look across several pages of a Web site. Instead of
defining the style of each table and each block of text within a page's HTML,
commonly used styles need to be defined only once in a CSS document. Once the
style is defined in cascading style sheet, it can be used by any page that
references the CSS file. Plus, CSS makes it easy to change styles across
several pages at once.
3.
Java script
- simple client-side scripting language. It's used to add effects to your page,
but it has some limitations. Java script is a programming language. Java script
was engineered at Sun Microsystems with the intention of creating a method of
manipulating web pages on a user's computer, without the need for refreshing
the page. The first web browser that supported JavaScript was Netscape 2.0B3.
Internet Explorer has never supported valid Java script, instead supporting a
Microsoft version called JScript. JScript is over 99% compatible with Java
script, such that most people do not realize that it is not Java script. The
few compatibility issues that do arise are usually attributed to the fact that
Microsoft products traditionally fall short of standards compliance.
4.
PHP
- PHP is a preprocessor hypertext, server-side language. A server-side language
means that all of the processing is done on the server rather than inside of
the browser. The server processes the Web page before it is displayed to the
user. PHP code can be embedded inside of a regular HTML document or used as a
stand-alone file. Both instances require the server to have one of the latest
PHP platforms installed.
5.
Perl -Perl is a family of high-level,
general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages. The languages in this family include Perl 5
and Perl 6. Though Perl is not officially an acronym, there are
various acronyms in use, such as: Practical Extraction and Reporting
Language. Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a
general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. Since
then, it has undergone many changes and revisions. The latest major stable
revision of Perl 5 is 5.20, released in May 2014. Perl 6, which began as a
redesign of Perl 5 in 2000, eventually evolved into a separate language. Both
languages continue to be developed independently by different development teams
and liberally borrow ideas from one another. For more information-http://www.perl.org/
6.
ASP
- ASP.NET is an open source server-side Web application
framework designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. It was
developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web
applications and web services. It was first released in January 2002 with
version 1.0 of the .NET Framework, and is the successor to Microsoft's Active
Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime
(CLR), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported .NET
language. The ASP.NET SOAP extension framework allows ASP.NET components to
process SOAP messages. For more

7.
VB.NET
- Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is a multi-paradigm, high
level programming language, implemented on the .NET Framework. Microsoft
launched VB.NET in 2002 as the successor to its original Visual Basic language.
Along with Visual C#, it is one of the two main languages targeting the .NET
framework. Microsoft currently supplies two main editions of IDE for developing
in VB.NET: Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, which is commercial software and
Visual Studio Express Edition 2013, which is free of charge. The command-line
compiler, VBC.EXE, is installed as part of the freeware .NET Framework SDK.
Mono also includes a command-line VB.NET compiler. For more
