What’s up everyone!

I’ll start posting about the basics of web development starting with HTML, which is the simplest and the most important language to learn to be able to start developing your own website.

I’m sure you have seen this before in links http://www.some-website.com/index.html  – where index.html is basically an HTML file that includes basic html tags translated by web browsers (ie, FireFox, Safari, Google Chrome..etc) into the layout you see in every website you visit. HTML is the short term for “HYPER TEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE”, and is transferred via HTTP – “HYPER TEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL”.

What’s up!

I have always been motivated to learn and know more about Web programming languages, tools, methods..etc. All programming languages have something in common and I’ll show you the similarities in a minute. For example, the following code will do two simple things:

1. Save a variable; which is an identifier for a specific value.
2. Print the value of a variable.

<?php

//this is a comment 

/*
this is another code comment, which will not have any effect on the code. 
Developers use these comments as a reference to know what they have done
in this area, or what they should do! 
*/

//Now this is variable called "text" being set to the value "Hello, World!"

$text = "Hello, World!";

//and now, displaying the value of this variable, this will be the PHP script output

echo $text;

?>

//this is a comment 

/*
this is another code comment, which will not have any effect on the code.
Developers use these comments as a reference to know what they have done
in this area, or what they should do!
*/

//Now this is variable called "text" being set to the value "Hello, World!"

var text = "Hello, World!";

//and now, displaying the value of this variable, this will be the javascript output

document.write(text);

Web programming languages and techniques can never be explained in a single post. I’ll keep on posting educational articles on the basics of web development languages, techniques, and tools.. and simple How-To guides. Was that useful? drop a comment!

Welcome to my Development blog!

I’ll be frequently posting about my own web/app development plans and projects. You may have been following my other blog (Blog37.com), which covers – mostly- social topics. So, I thought about creating this new spot to cover my other interests; Development tools, techniques, tryouts..etc.

Stay tuned for Tutorials and Lessons.
