Utility Data Web Page Design— Learning Technologies
Abstract
Creating web pages requires the use of at least a few of the several
technologies available to developers today. Reliable, robust, informative
and intuitive web pages displaying utility data can be created using
hypertext markup language (HTML) and common gateway interface
(CGI). Other technologies enhance the presentation and functionality of
web pages. We discuss these technologies from the viewpoint that a
great deal of application development today is undertaken through suc-
cessive revisions. We present technology descriptions, along with a
simple example of each, to get a developer started or simply for better
understanding. This is not an exhaustive guide to using each of the
technologies, but rather an “opening the door” approach. We then pro-
vide references and links to resources for further study.
