Programming

Programming

Programming is the process of generating, writing, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. To be a successful programmer, you must have a basic knowledge of computer languages, formal logic, specialized algorithms, and application domains. Examples of programming languages include HTML, ASP, XML, PHP, Java, JavaScript, and C++. Each programming language is designed for a specific purpose or objectives. For instance, HTML is used to create web pages and C++ is used to create executable files.

HTML

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is a computer language that is used to create web pages. It is the language that can be interpreted by a browser. Web pages are also called HTML documents. HTML is a set of special codes that can be embedded in text to add formatting and linking information to the web page.

PHP

Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is a scripting language that is executed on a web server. It supports various databases including Oracle and MySQL. A basic understanding of HTML and JavaScript is necessary for creating a PHP document. All PHP files contain text and HTML tags.

ASP

Active Server Pages (ASP) is another server side scripting language that is used to create and run web applications. It works with HTML pages and script commands to create web pages or web applications. The language that used for writing ASP is VBScript. At certain times you can also use Jscript.

Java

Java is an object-oriented and free-form programming that is designed specifically for the development of software for various applications. It is simple, portable, reliable, and an interactive language. Java is a platform-neutral language and it is not tied to any particular hardware or operating system. Since this unique programming language is used for the Internet, it is sometimes called Internet Language.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting language that functions as both procedural and object-oriented language. It is case sensitive, ignores white spaces, and adds characters to text using the "backlash" sign. JavaScript validates information that is sent to the server.

Perl

Practical Extraction and Report Language (PERL) is a cross platform programming language that is used for web applications and e-commerce programs. It works with all HTML, XML, and any other mark-up language. It is used for network programming, database administration, and graphics applications.

Ruby

Created by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, Ruby is an open source, object-oriented programming language that it is easy to read and use. Programs in Ruby are not compiled like other programming languages. There are many different types of Ruby programming languages like Iron Ruby, J Ruby, Ruby, and YARV.

.NET

.NET applications were deployed to run on the Common Language Runtime (CLR), which is a virtual machine that can run on any platform. A multi-platform, open-source implementation of .NET Framework allows developers to build and run applications on a variety of platforms. With .NET, compilers generate a language called Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is analogous to Java byte code.

C#

C# is an object-oriented programming language that enables programmers to build applications for the .NET platform. It is good for architecting components from high level applications to system level applications. These components can be converted in to web services that allow invoking across the Internet, from any language that is running on the operating system.

C++

An object-oriented programming language, C++ has features that allow programmers to build complex applications with clarity, extensibility, and ease of maintenance. It is suitable for any programming task that includes development of editors, compilers, databases, communication systems, and application systems.

AJAX

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is used to create interactive web applications. It based on JavaScript and HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests. AJAX facilitates asynchronous data transfer between the browser and the web server. The programming language allows the browser to retrieve a small amount of information from the server instead of entire pages.

Visual Basic

Visual basic was one of first languages with a graphical programming environment. A visual basic programmer can add more amount of code by using controls that define appearances and behavior. It is an event-driven language, which means that each object behaves differently in response to different events.

XML

XML (Extensible Markup Language) was designed to transport and store data. You can design your own tags according to the nature of the application. It is the most common tool that is used for data transmission between multiple applications and is becoming more popular in the area of storing and describing information.
