Web Programming

Web programming refers to the writing, mark-up and coding involved in Web development, which includes Web content, Web client and server scripting and network security.

The most common languages used for Web programming are XML, HTML, JavaScript, Perl 5 and PHP.

Web programming is different from just programming, which requires interdisciplinary knowledge on the application area, client and server scripting, and database technology.

Web site programming allows any website to turn a simple, static HTML page into a dynamic, Web 2.0 masterpiece.

It allows others to interact with your web site and use the application on any computer with Internet access. Web site programming is often easier than programming applications that will run directly on the computer.

Essentially, if you want to make or edit anything dynamic on your website, such as a forum, a guestbook, or even a form submission, you will need to know how to do some web site programming.
