Web Technologies

ASP DOT NET

The .NET Framework created by Microsoft is a software development platform focused on rapid application development (RAD), platform independence and network transparency. .NET is Microsoft's strategic initiative for server and desktop development for the next decade. According to Microsoft, .NET includes many technologies designed to facilitate rapid development of Internet and intranet applications.

  • Cross Platform
  • Interoperability
  • Simplified Deployment
  • Security
  • Portability

PHP

PHP is one of the most popular open-source web programming languages used for development of server-side applications and dynamic web content.

PHP allows you to select different operating systems and web servers. PHP supports all major operating systems such as Linux, many UNIX variants (including HP-UX, Solaris and OpenBSD), Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, RISC OS, and others.

One of the unique features in PHP is its interaction with a large number of database management systems such as MySQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, PostGreSQL, Sybase, Informix, SQLite, dBase, InterBase, ODBC (win), and others.

  • Cross Platform
  • Interoperability
  • Simplified Deployment

SQL

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is used to communicate with a database. According to ANSI (American National Standards Institute), it is the standard language for relational database management systems. SQL statements are used to perform tasks such as update data on a database, or retrieve data from a database. Some common relational database management systems that use SQL are: Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, Access, Ingres, etc. Although most database systems use SQL, most of them also have their own additional proprietary extensions that are usually only used on their system. However, the standard SQL commands such as "Select", "Insert", "Update", "Delete", "Create", and "Drop" can be used to accomplish almost everything that one needs to do with a database.

HTLM5

HTML5 has revolutionized website design by making the coding process simpler. HTML5 comes with a built in video feature. The main aim behind HTML5’s development was to dethrone Flash; neither iPhone nor iPad from Apple support Flash content. HTML5 will soon decrease the need of a Flash Player to view video content on the web. HTML5 also comes with offline cache facility.

  • You don’t need Photoshop to edit an image anymore. The Canvas tag gives you the freedom to craft 2D images and graphics directly.
  • Now you can edit any text placed between tags. This new functionality is called Content Editable tag.
  • Earlier, you had to include a doctype to inform the browser that it is handling a HTML file. The latest browsers don’t need any doctype to open a HTML5 file. Even if you want to make the website compatible to older browsers, just add doctype and the browser will understand that it needs to open a HTML file.
  • HTML5 stores the apps and web pages for offline use.
  • HTML5, fully developed, will allow you to play audio and video content without Flash Player or any such plug-in. This will not only change the rules of the web, but offer a better experience to portable internet device users. You will be able to see the trailer of your favorite movie from your iPhone.

JQuery

JQuery has been a blessing for several web developers, experienced and newbie alike. It is a library for JavaScript that immensely simplifies programming with JavaScript providing very easy to use, condensed syntax to achieve even apparently complex tasks with JavaScript. JQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. JQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript and is free open-source software. JQuery syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications. It also provides capabilities for developers to create plug-ins on top of the JavaScript library. This enables developers to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, theme-able widgets. The modular approach to the JQuery framework allows the creation of powerful and dynamic web pages and web applications.

  • Self-explanatory a lot more easy to use compared to standard JavaScript and other JavaScript libraries. Apart from simple syntax, it also requires much less lines of code to achieve the same feature in comparison.
  • JQuery enables you to perform hordes of functions in comparison to other JavaScript libraries. 
  • JQuery, while relatively new, has a huge following that devote their time to develop and enhance the functionality of JQuery. Thus there are hundreds of prewritten plugins available for download to instantly speed up your development process. Another advantage behind this is the efficiency and security of the script.
  • The JQuery website has a comprehensive documentation and tutorials to get even an absolute beginner in programming to get the ball rolling with this library.
  • JQuery lets you develop Ajax templates with ease; Ajax enables a sleeker interface where actions can be performed on pages without requiring the entire page to be reloaded.

JavaScript

JavaScript is the most popular scripting language on the internet, and works in all major browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari. JavaScript was designed to add interactivity to HTML pages usually embedded directly into HTML pages. It runs on your visitor's computer and so does not require constant downloads from your web site.

  • JavaScript gives HTML designers a programming tool - HTML authors are normally not programmers, but JavaScript is a scripting language with a very simple syntax! Almost anyone can put small "snippets" of code into their HTML pages
  • JavaScript can react to events - A JavaScript can be set to execute when something happens, like when a page has finished loading or when a user clicks on an HTML element
  • JavaScript can read and write HTML elements - A JavaScript can read and change the content of an HTML element
  • JavaScript can be used to validate data - A JavaScript can be used to validate form data before it is submitted to a server. This saves the server from extra processing
  • JavaScript can be used to detect the visitor's browser - A JavaScript can be used to detect the visitor's browser, and - depending on the browser - load another page specifically designed for that browser
  • JavaScript can be used to create cookies - A JavaScript can be used to store and retrieve information on the visitor's computer

CSS3

CSS3 is the latest version of Cascading Style Sheet. To help web designers customize the layout of a website more easily, CSS3 has refreshed the fonts, typography and background colors, and gives designers a lot more freedom to play with the look and feel of a website.

  • CSS3 introduces @font-face feature. It allows the designer to use custom fonts in the website. To use any font of your choice, you need to upload the font to your server and link it with the CSS file.
  • Text content was previously spread over one or maximum two columns. Now you can have as many columns as you wish in the website. You can give the website the look and feel of a newspaper by breaking the text content into columns. You can also customize the column spacing and column width.
  • You can add several backgrounds to items in a website with the new feature called Multiple Backgrounds. This will give the website a more vibrant and dynamic look.
  • CSS3’s Border Image feature allows swapping any element’s border with an image.
  • Now you can add drop shadow effect to text and image using the Box-Shadow feature. It allows you to give both inner and outer shadow and you can also choose color, blur and offset of the drop shadow.
