WEB PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Definitions:

 Web programming refers to the writing, markup and coding involved in Web
development, which includes Web content, Web client and server scripting and
network security.
 A Web programming language is a tool used by a web
designer/developer/author to develop web applications such as websites.

 They include;
1) HTML
 Designates Hypertext Markup/Manipulative Language
 HTML makes up the layout and structure for your website.
 This language is dynamic and allows you to create a beautiful website using less
code.
 HTML is used to create a starting point for the website and is what most of your
static pages starting from.
 A better way to understand this language is to consider it as the skeleton that is
holding your website together.

2) Dreamweaver
 Dreamweaver is an application that lets you design, code, and manage websites.
 Of significance about the software is that it offers both the possibility to write
code as well as make a website using a visual interface.

3) CSS
 CSS is the language developers can use to style a website. The style sheet language
describes how your website is presented and its layout.
 CSS is used hand in hand with HTML to add colors, backgrounds, layouts, font
sizes, and more.
 This language is a core technology web developers use to design and build websites.

 4) Java
 Java is the most popular web programming language. It is used to develop website
content, games, apps, and software.
 Java is used in the production of most Android apps.
 Java language is portable and can be run on multiple software platforms.

5) JavaScript
 JavaScript is used in many aspects of web development. Web developers use this
language to add interactive elements to their websites.
 User engagement is important to your business, and your web developer should
be incorporating JavaScript elements in your design.

6) Python
 Python is a computer programming language often used to build websites and
software, automate tasks, and conduct data analysis.
 Python is a general purpose language, meaning it can be used to create a variety
of different programs and isn't specialized for any specific problems.
 Python is one of the easiest languages to use and work with.
 Python can create a framework for basically any website need. This language
uses simple and straightforward syntax, making it easy for web developers to
work with and explain to their users. Some familiar sites that are using this
language are Pinterest and Instagram.

7) SQL
 SQL is a database query language that is used when your website is computing
large amounts of data.
 Using SQL allows you to gather data from different databases and use it to cater
your website to your target audience. This language is not used alone; instead, it

2
 is paired with others to get the most out of your customer database and website
development.

8) PHP
 PHP is often used on data-heavy websites or for app development.
 This is an open-source language that can be easily modified to meet the needs of
your business or website.
 Large websites like WordPress and Facebook use PHP to manage and process
their data.

9) Angular
 Angular is an improved and updated version of the earlier AngularJS framework
built by Google. In comparison to React, it is more difficult to learn.
 However, it offers more practical solutions for the front end. Angular also allows
you to develop complicated and highly scalable applications with great
functionality, business logic, and attractive visual designs.
 IFurthermore, there are various distinct ready-made instruments and extensions
such as Snippets, Angular command-line interface (CLI), etc. that simplify the
work of developers.

Significant features of Angular:

 Its Model-View-Control (MVC) architecture allows dynamic modeling.

 It makes use of the HTML programming language to develop UIs, making them
easy and simple to understand
 It makes use of the ‘plain old JavaScript objects’ that are highly functional and
self-sufficient.
 Angular offers better functionality with HTML using directives.
 Angular Filters help in filtering data before reaching the view.
 In Angular, you can use templates that make it easier to build the required
framework quicker.

Advantages of Angular:

 Follows two-way data binding

 Provides improved performance of the server
 Ensures that developers can build websites with minimum coding
 Allows them to develop hybrid and high-quality apps
 Offers quicker application prototyping and more responsive and interactive web
applications
 Allows developers to enhance the testing ability so that data decoupling can see
the HTML code and DOM

Use cases of Angular:

 Dynamic apps
 Progressive web applications
 Enterprise web applications

10) .NET
 .NET (pronounced dot net) is a framework that provides programming
guidelines that can be used to develop a wide range of applications from the web
to mobile to Windows-based applications.
 The .NET framework can work with several web programming languages such
as C#, VB.NET, C++, and F#.

11) Angular

 Angular is a TypeScript-based open-source front-end application platform led by

the Angular Team at Google and by a community of individuals and
corporations.
 Angular is a complete rewrite from the same team that built AngularJS. Angular
is a platform that makes it easy to build applications with the web. Angular
combines declarative templates, dependency injection, end to end tooling, and

4
 integrated best practices to solve development challenges. Angular empowers
developers to build applications that live on the web, mobile, or the desktop.

12) Ruby
 Similar to PHP and Python, Ruby is also easy to learn and goo for beginners.
 What makes Ruby special for web development is the Ruby on Rails framework
which powers websites like Github, Shopify, Airbnb, Groupon, GoodReads, and
Kickstarter.

13) React
 React or ReactJS is a framework of JavaScript built by Facebook.
 This framework allows professionals to build user interfaces with their dynamic
capabilities.
 Websites that are built using React work faster, and you can also switch between
various available elements smoothly.
 Moreover, ReactJS allows organizations to build up and increase their loyalty
among users by providing a remarkable user experience.
 Besides, it is compatible with almost all setups of the backend of applications.
 Moreover, React makes the work of professionals easier by providing an option
to divide each of the web pages into multiple small components.

Important features of React:

 Its Virtual Document Object Model (DOM) permits you to develop quick and
scalable applications.
 Its one-way data binding does not allow professionals to make any direct
changes in the properties of React components and offers a stable code.
 React builds an interactive UI for both mobile and web apps.
