ACCC supports a wide range of Web development Languages. These languages Include ASP, PHP, CGI, Java, Coldfusion, XML,.

Active Server Pages: A Microsoft-invented programming environment that allows Web developers to create server-side scripted templates that generate dynamic, interactive applications. Embedded ASP codes in standard HTML can achieve a range of possibilities, from Web content customized to a user's individual tastes or a complex database application that may access legacy data from a mainframe.

PHP (a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is an open-source, server-side HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. A dynamic Web page is a page that interacts with the user, so that each user visiting the page sees customized information.

PHP is freely available and used primarily on Linux (UNIX) Web servers, and as an alternative to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. As with ASP, the PHP script is embedded within a Web page along with its HTML. Before the page resolves, the Web server calls PHP to interpret and perform the operations called for in the PHP script. An HTML page with PHP script is typically given a file name suffix of ".php," ".php4," or ".phtml."


CGI: common gateway interface. A CGI program offers a standards-based way of receiving input from an end user and transferring it to a server. Many Web pages have forms embedded in them which use CGI to receive information from the user and transfer it to the server, which then processes that information.

Java is a programming language invented by Sun Microsystems. Java programs (or "applets") can be downloaded from the Internet to your computer. They are often used to enhance Web pages. Common Java applets used on Web pages include animation, calculators, and counters.

ColdFusion is a web development language used for creating Web based Applications which interact with a database.

XML: Extensible Markup Language. An enhanced version of HTML, recently ratified by the W3C. It provides greater flexibility when designing Web pages. It's not yet supported in any of the major browsers, although Microsoft intends to support it in its next generation of Web browser.
