What is Web Programming?
Web Programming is the art of creating an application that is executed through a Web browser or on a Web server. Online shopping, bill/invoice payment, and database driven content management tools are all examples of what can be accomplished with Web programming. Utilizing web programming tools, companies are creating dynamic, robust Web sites allowing them to differentiate themselves from their competitors by offering a better online experience.
How does it help my business?
Utilizing Web programming to enhance your site allows you to move from a static, brochure type of web site to a dynamic interactive web site. Brochure web sites provide your customers with some basic information, usually in text format, about who you are and how to contact you. Dynamic web sites allow you to differentiate yourself by providing value added services to your customers through the internet. These can include online shopping or order processing, account management and interactive content such as streaming media or online catalogs. With the right web application, you can expand the scope of your business by turning your site into a new sales channel for your business.
How do I get started? - Planning your web site
The key to a successful Web application is planning. Before starting your project, consider the following. What is the purpose of the application you are trying to create?

What are the specific actions that you would like visitors to your site to take. This might include the ability to make purchases, request and download information or retrieve content from a searchable database.
