Coding & Programming
Websites are created using a mixture of code types. The websites I build involve the following:
- HTML with CSS
- JavaScript & J Query
- AJAX
- Actionscript
- XML
- PHP
HTML With CSS
This is the coding structure that displays on screens and devices. It is either created directly as HTML web pages or dynamically through programming code such as PHP.
I use industry standard HTML with external CSS files which mostly separate styling from content and can meet W3C standards if required. The benefits of this coding are fast page load times and improved performance in search engines.
I also use some CSS3, which display in browsers that support them, but degrade gracefully in browsers that do not.
JavaScript & J Query
JavaScript is a programming language that is used to add functionality and effects such as drop-down menus. J Query is a library of scripts based on JavaScript that allow more complex functionality to be added quickly, such as tabbed panels.
AJAX
AJAX covers a wide range of coding techniques, but typically I apply this to forms to verify fields and generate messages before the form is processed, among other uses.
Actionscript
The programming language of Flash. This is used in almost all flash components with more elaborate components requiring rather more complex programming.
PHP & MySql
PHP is a versatile programming language that can interact with databases through programming languages such as MySql.
Joomla! is based on PHP, which I frequently modify for individual sites.
Although not an out and out programmer I can create a range of custom scripts for use within websites.
