Not so long ago. We were amazed on how CGI or Common Gateway Interface
can make a website dynamic. Using CGI, HTML has never been the same.
Websites can now dynamically present their data from the database and
do some dynamic computations.
There were different ways to create a CGI. The popular way is to use
PERL. C is can also be used using the CGIC library. With these
languages, a website can now dynamically present their data depending
on the user’s request which is then handled through forms.
Today, there’s a lot of available technologies that can be used for web development. There’s PHP, JSP, Servlet, ASP, and so on.
Most
of these technologies are do well fot it’s purpose which is to create a
web application that dynamically interact with the users. Some people
only debates which technology performs better.
I cannot give
an answer right now on which performs better. But, I would say that
much of the performance will depend on how the web application was
designed.
But, you might be thinking that I prefer PHP since
this website is using PHP. Not really, I actually prefer JSP and
Servlets. The only reason why this website is using PHP is because my
webhost primarily offers PHP.
PHP is easy to understand. I
guess for me, because I’m a programmer. I finished the skeleton of this
website after a day of reading about PHP. The only important matter is
to incorporate your design skills. MVC framework that is. I will talk
about more of my approach on building this website on my next article.
The
bottomline is, if you are a Java person, stick to JSP and Servlet. If
you are a VB programmer, stick to ASP! The most important part is to
make a very good design. Make the design work for your web designer and
developer. And be sure that the website is easy to manage in terms of
data and appearance changes.
