Website Coding

Developing a website can be overwhelming because of the amount of code and markup involved in an interactive website. Luckily, there are a large number of tutorials on the web to learn about coding a website. There are also many tools available where no coding knowledge is necessary.

HTML

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. HTML defines sections of a page and how to display the content. To develop a simple website, HTML is all you need to know, but the complex websites of today require tools to help you complete the project in a reasonable timeframe.

CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is used to present a website in a more readable format. It is used to define fonts, colors, backgrounds, and much more. Using HTML and CSS together, you can create a professional looking website layout.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a client side coding language. This means the program code is executed on the machine you’re viewing the website with. JavaScript is used to create a more dynamic and interactive environment for the website you’re viewing.

Scripting Languages

To create the dynamic websites of today, you need to use a server side scripting language, such as php, asp, Java, or ColdFusion. Each scripting language has its strengths and weaknesses. I prefer php, since it is can be blended well with HTML and is learned quite easily.
