What tools and technologies are needed /used when building a web site? What do they all do? |
| |
Theoretically, a web site could be built using nothing but a simple text editor program such as Notepad. However, there are many tools available to web developers to streamline and ease production:
Adobe Photoshop: Photo editing program – probably one of the finest on the market. Uses extend from simple resizing and cropping to full photo retouching and composite layout.
Adobe Illustrator: Works with vector graphics – very handy for logo and symbol design, also very strong with text.
Macromedia Dreamweaver: Very handy page editing tool – wonderful for layouts and design.
Macromedia Fireworks: Image suite that does raster and vector graphics – actually built and optimized for doing web graphics.
Macromedia Flash: Can be used to develop movies, games or other interactive content. It requires the end-user to have Flash browser plug-in install (which most already do).
Other technologies: In order to perform some of the functions that web sites need, different elements such as databases, client- and server-side scripts, and programs are needed. Databases may be MS Access, MS SQL, mySQL, or many others. Some of the more popular scripting languages include VBscript, Javascript, PHP, ColdFusion, and others. Programming may include JAVA, Visual Basic, C#, or a host of other choices.
