The Life Cycle of a Program
• Programming is the process of translating
a task into a series of commands a
computer will use to perform that task
• Programming involves:
– Identifying the parts of a task the computer
can perform
– Describing tasks in a specific and complete
manner
– Translating the tasks into a language that is
understood by the computer’s CPU

Web Applications
• Hypertext Markup language (HTML):
– Not a true programming language
– Uses special symbols (tags) to control how
Web pages are viewed
• JavaScript:
– Used to make Web pages more visually
appealing and interactive
• VBScript:
– A subset of Visual Basic
– Used to add interactivity to Web pages

Web Applications
• Active Server Pages (ASP) and Java
Server Pages (JSP):
– Adds interactivity capabilities to Web pages
– Translates user information into a request for
more information from a company’s computer
• Flash:
– Enables elaborate animations to be created
for Web pages
• Extensible Markup Language (XML):
– Enables computers to efficiently transfer
information between Web sites
