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
