Languages of Web Programming: HTML vs. Java

With the way the world is and almost everyone having access to the internet, I decided to look into the different languages of web programming and what theyre advantages are. One of the most known programming languages is HTML. It has limited power, and is only definied as computational power which means that certain tasks will be performed poorly. These tasks include if the server gets overwhelmed with tasks or if it is i highly interactive website. Safety is the biggest issue in HTML, as viruses can arrise from downloading binary source code from conventional programming languages.

An alternate language that you can use other than HTML is Java, which I described as before, is derived from C++ and is constant being upgraded in terms of performance and safety by Sun. There is also the JavaScript language which is netscapes language to interpret HTML. It is very similar to Java but differs because it interprets information instead of compiles code, and also extends HTML while keeping it easy to use.
