What are web developers using these days?

Question

I can think of XML, Javascript, AJAX, JSP, ASP ... What else are developers using?

Answer 1

What gets sent to the browser is usually flash, html ,javascript and css (Client side technologies) .. XML is usually used in this scenario by exposing server technologies through AJAX, REST, SOAP and transformed using XSLT



Server side processing creates client side languages and this will also have XML, but here you have Java, JSP, PHP, ASP, Ruby, Perl



And these run on the servers Apache/Tomcat/IIS to name a few.



But hopefully: Web developers will stick to using the appropriate content management systems (e.g. Wordpress for blogs, Joomla/Alfresco/OpenCMS for websites)



The bane of the internet is do it yourself notepad and php programmers!

Answer 2

I use notepad =)



Once you break out of most editors, Dreamweaver may be a good choice for you to edit most of those.
