Web Programming

Description

Web programming or web development refers to the writing, markup and coding involved in web programming, 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 an extensive term for the work involved in developing a website for the internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). Web programming can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text, to the most complex web-based internet applications or web apps, electronic businesses, and social network services.

A more complete list of tasks to which web programming encompasses can include web engineering, web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side or server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. Among web professionals, web programming usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building websites: writing markup and coding. Currently web programming has come to mean the creation of content management systems or CMS.

There are three kinds of web developer specialisations; front-end developer, back-end developer, and full-stack developer. Front-end developers deal with the layout and visuals of a website, while back-end developers deal with the functionality of a website. Back-end developers will program the functions of a website that will then collect data. This book is a comprehensive guide by a well-reputed subject expert.
