Applications Development

While HTML provides the static display of information for any given web page, the applications running "under the hood" are what bring any website to life. Applications include everything from a simple email signup form to a full blown e-commerce shopping cart program. Applications can be run on the website hosting server or on a site visitor's own machine. Techeffex has years of experience developing complex systems and applications and uses industry standard coding and development methodologies.

Application Languages

PHP

Techeffex implements all its applications with PHP, a very popular open standards scripting language. When a site visitor request a web page that contains PHP code, the page is first passed from the website hosting server to the PHP Interpretation Engine which runs the PHP code. Depending on the code, some action may be taken on the server and the page content modified based on the code. The new page is returned to the server and forwarded to the site visitor - all in the blink of an eye of course! PHP is a very flexible language that can be used to implement a wide variety of applications.

Javascript

Javascript is a very common scripting language that typically runs on the site visitor's computer. Javascript is a very powerful language and can be used for very simple to very complex tasks. Javascript support tends to vary more between browsers than HTML. As such care must be taken to ensure compatibility across different browser platforms. Site visitors can also disable Javascript from running altogether so website designs must take this into account.
