With the first breakthroughs in creating websites taking place at CERN in the late 1980s, the internet as a medium of communication and broadcaster of information saw a boost in popularity. There was a new stratum of professionals who became indispensable to businesses with their skills in harnessing this newly leashed media.
The first ever language these web developers used for composing web pages was GML or General Markup Language which was influenced by Script which introduced the concept of styles being separated from the marked up document. GML allowed for the processing of same source files to produce books, reports and electronic editions. However, this was limited to limited document formats. SGML or Standard General Markup Language was then introduced, which provided to be an intermediary for manipulating and exchanging text documents. SGML, in turn was used as a base for another language, HTML or Hypertext Markup Language, which allowed the developers to use fixed tags for composing a website. SGML’s more recent avatar, XML or Extensible Markup Language, allows users flexibility in terms of defining their own tags.
XML, made new kinds of Java based applications possible. JavaScript, a scripting language [not to be confused with the programming language Java], allowed an individual to add new elements and attributes to a webpage, besides re- structuring options, without having to know any other complex languages. JavaScript also allowed a shift away from static HTML displays. Ajax [Asynchronous JavaScript And XML] is another JavaScript based programme, which reveals and updates parts of a web page as a systematic process. The excellent attributes of Web 2. 0 can be seen in such a programme where interaction between the user and the web site is made possible. Google Maps is a good example of Ajax techniques.
