In this lesson we'll focus on the programming of websites and web based applications.

The World Wide Web has become an exciting and dynamic platform for the delivery of innovative products and services.

With Web 2.0, computer programming has moved far beyond static HTML and even XML programming looks very different than it did just 10 years ago.

Web pages and services are dynamic and interactive.

This is possible because programmers now code in languages such as JavaScript and use development tools such as Ajax.

APIs have enabled the assembly of various pieces of software into interesting bundles.

Programmers now rely on extensive code libraries and object oriented languages to create not only dynamic web pages but also web based applications.

Software no longer comes packaged in boxes.

Instead, it is now more common to download apps onto your laptop or or mobile phone from an app store.

Dynamic Dynamic websites that are dynamic allow users to interact with them and their databases.

Whenever you book a ticket or buy something online, you're interacting with a dynamic website.

News companies need dynamic websites that are constantly updated with latest news.

Static Static A static website is one that simply displays information or content in a fixed format.

Dynamic websites are now preferred to static sites as they can update information automatically.

HTML HTML HTML is a language used to define the structure and layout of web pages.

HTML helps determine how information is displayed on a web page.

A knowledge of HTML is a basic requirement for web developers because it forms the foundation of virtually every website.

XML XML XML is a customizable language used to transport and store data.

XML is especially useful for updating services such as RSS feeds and blogs.

For example, JavaScript can display a signup form and validate the input.

JavaScript applications allow non programmers to easily add new functionality to their websites.

Ajax AJAX ajax, based on JavaScript enables a website to get data from a server without reloading the whole web page.

More and more developers are adopting Ajax to run applications as it helps speed up the sharing of information on websites.

API API APIs or application programming interfaces program provide a way for different software or services to communicate with each other.

Object oriented programming is typically faster than traditional programming, and the software is much easier to maintain.

Application Apps Application Apps Application refers to any program or piece of software.

The abbreviation app is commonly used to talk about applications for mobile phones.

Over 10 billion apps have been downloaded from Apple's popular App Store.

We'll play the correct answer after each question.
