Web development basically a method of creating a
website, consists of single to many pages and
requires various actions like programming, web
designing, creating content and security tasks.
With continuous increase in demand of web
technology, it has become imperative for
organizations or businesses to have a website for
serving users in a better way. One of the
important factors in web development process is
to have a good knowledge of programming language.
The programming languages provide instructions
(command or syntax) for creating web pages or
programs in such a way that it enhances user
experience. Every web programming language is
different, as they are created on different
platforms and for specific requirements. Web
developers choose programming languages based on
their choice and requirement of web development.

Popular programming language for web
development 1. JAVA (Just Another Virtual
Architecture) JAVA is developed by Sun
Microsystems in the 1990s. It is widely popular
for web development because of its flexibility in
programming. The program model which is called
OOPS (Object Oriented Programming System)
provides flexibility to function on various
platforms such as Mac OS, windows UNIX, LINUX
etc. Some programs written for windows OS can
also be used for Mac operating system. Apart
from web development, JAVA is a perfect platform
for enterprise application development and
specific mobile and game apps development.
Example Some popular sites that use Java
programming are Amazon, LinkedIn, eBay etc.

2. JAVA Script Unlike Java which is OPPS
programming language, JAVA Script is based on
OPPS scripting language and has lots of demand in
creation and development of websites. JAVA Script
is allows client side scripting where the code
directly runs on browser without the need of
compiler or plug-ins. JAVA Script is developed by
Netscape and acquired code from C language which
makes it suitable for handling non web based
things like PDFs, widgets and mostly used for
desktop applications and for developing computer
games. 3. PHP PHP called Hypertext Preprocessor
developed by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 and launched
in the market in 1995. It is HTML embedded
language that provides free server side
scripting, used mainly in web development for
generating web pages and web apps easily.

webpage which a HTML alone cannot do, such as
collecting user information, creating graphics,
interacting with databases etc. 4. Python Python

oriented programming language with class based
interface which can be used for any web
programming task from simple scripting to data
analysis. Python also supports other languages
