Web Programming Services

Web Development offers web programming services that include several popular and well-supported technologies. The programming languages listed below allow you to have dynamic data and page elements on your web site. If you want web pages that react to user input or actions we can use one or more of these languages on your site:

Javascript
Javascript is a client-side scripting language that can be used to create dynamic buttons, menus and graphics on web pages. It's often used for mathematical calculations, site navigation and validating form entries.

Perl
Perl is a server-side scripting language that is used for a wide variety of web applications such as search engines, surveys, calendars, message boards and dynamic page creation. Perl is a highly versatile language that can be used in any web application.

PHP and MySQL
PHP is one of the most versatile web languages available. PHP is supported on all Uniform Access computers at the UW, which means you can use PHP for departmental sites, personal sites, as well as sites under the www.washington.edu domain.

PHP, of all the tools we use, is best suited for working with databases and large, dynamic elements of your site. Best of all, PHP, unlike JavaScript or HTML, does not rely on the web browser to display the web page properly. Thus, PHP can help deliver content to any type of browser -- from the latest version of Mozilla to the oldest version of Internet Explorer. PHP can even be used to deliver your webpages to a mobile phone!

MySQL is a fully featured database engine you can run in you departmental, supplemental, or personal account. Using PHP, it is possible not only to display the information from your database on a web pgae, but also to use web pages to keep the information in your database up-to-date.

ASP (NT servers only)
ASP is a scripting language used to interface with database servers such as Access and SQL Server. Using ASP you can pull information out of a database for display on a web page. You can also allow web users to add, update and remove records from the database using ASP.
