Hi, over a number of years i have been teaching myself various methods of web design using CMS and dreamweaver however i get stuck when people ask me what languages i know. When creating a HTML documented website, can various languages be used within the same website or does a website only consist of 1 language? Also could you give me a breakdown of how the languages are used and what with for example Flash uses Actionscript as far as im aware...could you tell me what is used for javascript, C, C++, C#, java, php, SQL, Cobol, Pascal? Thanks
You can mixup language. Those language usually used for different occasion. There are front end language like HTML, Javascript and CSS and Back end language PHP, Java, Ruby and Python. In case people keep asking what language, just tell em English. LOL I'm just kidding man
Hi sdk0121. HTML primarily uses CSS (Cascading Stylesheet) and JavaScript/jQuery since they are the three layers of a website. You can add other languages like Flash/ActionScript if you wanted to create an animation but HTML5 and CSS3 have been dominating that area lately. PHP and SQL (and MySQL) work with HTML but behind the scenes. These languages help a website in regards to storing data from the visitors to your site, creating databases, checking form validation and things of that nature. The other languages you mentioned (C++, C#, Java, Cobol, and Pascal) are languages used to create the functionality of products like an ATM, accounting system, operating system (Windows OS or Mac OS), and anything else that requires a lot of programing functionality. I hope this helps.
