The Internet has become so very popular over the past 10 years that web programming today has become a huge undertaking. The Internet itself is composed of many different languages and technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, PHP, ASP, and XML, among others. These languages and technologies interact with each other via hypertext engines which in turn, create graphical pages. There are many people who are very familiar with web development and web site creation. These people are called web developers. Web development then involves the entire process of converting an idea into a working website, which includes graphic designs, content management systems, database integration and more.
Web programming may be done in many different ways. One of these ways of web development includes the use of languages such as HTML, C/C++, JavaScript, CSS, Perl, PHP, and Ruby on rails programming. Web application programming is the process involved in creating a complex web application which is typically used in conjunction with web development languages. The development of a web application can range from creating a simple static web page of just text to a complex web application with multiple levels of access and communication with various databases.
Web design is an aspect of web programming where a person either creates the actual design layout or the layout is based on pre-existing designs. Most often, web designers create the layout by using programming languages and tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, HTML, XHTML, or Java. In order to design a web site, a web designer will often collaborate with web programmers, online marketers, advertisers, and clients in order to refine the web design and make it appealing to their target audience. Designers will often draw out the layout of a web page by using specialized software programs such as Adobe Photoshop. After the layout is complete, the web designer will upload it to the Internet and allow visitors to access it through the website.
