Document Summary

Programming and the web: users can only interact with our pages in the following ways. Social networking sites: html alone cannot to make dynamic web pages. Html is only for describing a document what"s in it, what it"s parts are for, what it looks like: to make a web page interactive, a programming language is required. Programming theory: what is a program, a program is a list of instructions for processing data (information, data has many different forms. The program will output some (different) data: inputting is the act of getting data from the real world into a program, data can be input through various devices: Etc: typically, inputting involves a user, though not always, processing is the act of transforming the data into some other data, examples of processing: Distorting a sound: processing happens entirely inside the program.
