ASP
Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology provides a
framework for building dynamic HTML pages which enable Internet
and Intranet applications to be interactive.
Cascading Style Sheets
Style Sheets allow you to control the rendering, e.g. fonts,
colors, leading, margins, typefaces, and other aspects of style,
of a Web document without compromising its structure. CSS is a
simple style sheet mechanism that allows authors and readers to
attach style to HTML documents. It uses common desktop publishing
terminology which should make it easy for professional as well as
untrained designers to make use of its features. Visual design
issues, such as page layout, can thus be addressed separately
from the Web page logical structure.
Databases
Simply put, a database is a computerized record keeping system. More
completely, it is a system involving data, the hardware that physically
stores that data, the software that utilizes the hardware's file system
in order to 1) store the data and 2) provide a standardized method for
retrieving or changing the data, and finally, the users who turn
the data into
information.
Design
Web site design is more than just some text and pretty graphics.
DHTML
"Dynamic HTML" is typically used to describe the combination of
HTML, style sheets and scripts that allows documents to be
animated. Dynamic HTML allows a Web page to change after it's
loaded into the browser --there doesn't have to be any
communication with the Web server for an update. You can think of
it as 'animated' HTML. For example, a piece of text can change
from one size or color to another, or a graphic can move from one
location to another, in response to some kind of user action,
such as clicking a button.
Graphics
Resources, demos and tutorials on the basics of graphics design
and construction, including integrating images into your Web
pages.
HTML
HyperText Markup Language is the fundamental building stuff of
the Web. We present several articles, tutorials, and references
on HTML.
Computers and Internet
Internet is about the Internet in general, including history,
structure, applications, email, protocols, commerce, Web-related
topics, organisations, statistics, intranets, e-zines, and
pointers to further information.
Multimedia
Multimedia makes your Web sites come alive. These tutorials can
help make that happen.
Perl
a interpretative language used in CGI for handling text files
PHP
An open-source server-parsed embedded scripting language.
Usability
Make certain that your Web sites are "user-friendly".
VRML
VRML is an acronym for "Virtual Reality Modeling Language". It is
the International Standard (ISO/IEC 14772) file format for
describing interactive 3D multimedia on the Internet.
Web Programming & Scripting
Static HTML pages can be supplemented with server or client-side
programming, or 'scripting' as it is often known. Currently the
main languages for this are Perl, Java, and JavaScript, sometimes
used in combination with CGI.
XML
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a human-readable, machine-
understandable, general syntax for describing hierarchical data,
applicable to a wide range of applications (databases, e-
commerce, Java, Web development, searching, etc.).
