Web Programming Bulletpoints

XML - eXtensible Markup Language

• A language for storing data in an easy to format manner
• Lists rules for encoding documents in an way that's both machine and human readable

HTML

• Static
• Compiled within the browser, making it more independent

JavaScript

• Makes an HTML page dynamic
• Simple syntax
• Detects client browser
• Validates client data
• Example : login pages, Wikipedia, email pages, drop menus
• Example of pages that wouldn't use  JavaScript: News Article

Cascading Style Sheets

• Formatting Language
• Multiple pages use the same style
• Separates content from style and layout
• Easier layout changes

Java Beans: Short Version

A java bean is simply a convention for a class. For a class to be considered a bean, it must simply possess:

• A default constructor
• Getter and Setter Methods
• Implements the Serializable interface, so it can its states be saved, streamed, and passed to other applications

That is all. For more details, see here.
