Development
VAE
is experienced at Web development. Web development is software that runs
through a browser on the client computer. There are quite a few different
browsers available, but they all understand a language called HTML. Web
development is written in HTML for the browser to know how to display a
page.
There
are several types of web pages.
Static
A
static page is displayed the same way each time you visit it or refresh
it. This type of page is for information that does not change quickly or
for a page that will link you to other pages. These pages are usually
stored as files on the web server and are read and passed back to the
browser when it asks for them.
Dynamic
A
dynamic page can change with each visit or refresh. It can also be given
parameter data when it is called. A typical example of this is shopping or
banking online, the web page knows who you are and what you bought so the
information on the page is about you and your purchases. This type of page
is not a file on the computer but a CGI program that the web server runs
each time the page is called or refreshed. The CGI program takes
parameters passed in if any plus other information and builds a HTML
answer that the browser displays.
Mini-Applications
A
mini-application page has small programs that run in the browser along
with the HTML. These pages can do things like validate data in a form type
web page or you can actually have a small program in the web page that
could do most things a larger program can do. Typically online games will
have some type of mini-application running in the browser so that the web
server does not need to redraw and send all the HTML for the new screen
when you make a move, it just sends the move and the mini-application
builds the new screen.
