What programming language is use to create a website?

Answer 1

At the most basic level is HTML and CSS. CSS is used mostly for the layout and visual design of the website. Usually combined with those is JavaScript. However, more and more websites are using PHP and MySQL. These are becoming more popular and if you ever want to have a website with multiple user accounts that your visitors can log into, PHP is probably the way to go. Might as well start out with it, then add this ability later when you're ready for it.

Answer 2

From the "client" or "browser", you will be using HTML, XHTML, or XML for the document's content, CSS for the document's styling (generally), and possibly JavaScript, VBScript, JScript, Silverlight, Flash, or Java for interactive elements. For the server, you might be using any of a number of programming languages, including PHP, Perl, Ruby, C++, shell scripts, ASP, JSP, Forth, .NET, and so on.

Answer 3

In general, no, HTML is not a programming language. It is a markup language, which is very different. A traditional programming language contains control and logic structures, none of which are in HTML.

HTML describes how something should look (via a browser) and contains commands that describe the actual markup of a page.

HTML is a subset of SGML, which is used by publishers to describe how a book is produced. Since browsers on the internet do not need the same level of markup HTML was developed to describe the more limited requirements of showing/rendering a page via a browser.

Answer 4

Several languages are used. The initial version of the World Wide Web defined HTML. Since then several "back-end" languages have been defined that run on servers; PHP and ASPX are the most common with varieties of Visual Basic and Visual C# being used alongside ASPX. Javascript is also used to run small applications on the browser and SQL is used to interact with databases. Most modern websites use a mixture of several of these languages.

Answer 5

HTML is not a programming language; it is a Markup language. It is used to define the structure of data in pages. In order to make webpages actually do things it can also work with JavaScript, CSS, PHP, and more.

Answer 6

Strictly speaking, HTML is the basis for almost all web pages, however there are many more languages that may come into play such as:

Javascript: This is a language that help you do cool things in your browser like having pages that change depending on user actions (as opposed to pages that are just static with a bunch of links to other static pages)

PHP: This is a languages that allows you to do cool stuff on the other side (the server side) of the web page. Among other things it allows you to access databases with stored information.

SQL: This is another server side language and comes in many flavors MySQL, MsSQL and more. Its the language of the database that might be accessed by PHP.

ASP: Similar to PHP in form and function but has some other features as well (someone who knows ASP should elaborate here)

CSS: this isn't really a language but a way of telling HTML how it should look, it can also play a critical role in Javascript functionality.

Ruby, Python, Perl etc.. : there are many server side languages (that I don't know) they all have their advantages and disadvantages.

XML/XSLT: The XML is the root of all markup languages (such as HTML) its not really necessary to understand it for basic webpage design but can come in handy in the future, XSLT is like CSS for XML, also handy.

Java: Java is kinda like PHP and other server side languages but it is compiled (which means it runs faster and is also harder to develop in). Also Java can run in applets on the clients machine (and in this way acts sorta like Javascript)

Answer 7

Any programming language can be used to create web pages, although some are more common than others. All they need to do is create and write out the HTML code with the contents, formatting specification and links. Within a web page, you can also include programming in languages like javascript, java, and PHP. The PHP code is processed by the web server and modifies the HTML code as it sends out the web page code. The javascript and java are sent out and are executed by the web browser (Internet explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc) receiving the web page information.

Answer 8

Some possibilities are Php, Perl, C, Java, Asp

Answer 9

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML is the language.
