XHTML
Extensible Hypertext Markup Language is a much leaner and stricter version of the old stardard World Wide Web publishing language HTML. Lean is an advantage because it means less 'code-bloat', leading to quicker download times. Similarly strict coding means that browsers should be able to interpret and load the page more quickly.
CSS
Cascading Style Sheets are a powerful, yet simple way to add style (e.g. fonts, colours, layout) to a Web document. One CSS file can be linked to from multiple documents. This is not only good news for the web developer (editing a single expression in the css file can alter the appearance of an entire site) but is also beneficial for the web user as it reduces download times.
Flash
Flash is a platform developed by Macromedia (recently acquired by Adobe), that enables rich content such as animated effects and video to be displayed on web pages.adobe.com
PHP
PHP is a widely-used programming language that is especially suited to Web development. Among other uses, PHP can be used to build dynamic and interactive web applications.
JavaScript
JavaScript is a programming language that has been around for some time. It fell out of favour with many web professionals because of inconsistent browser support, but has seen a recent resurgence in popularity due in large part to a technique called AJAX.
AJAX
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is the technology behind the new breed of user interfaces appearing on the web; it allows webpages to communicate with the server in 'real-time' so that individual pieces of information displayed on a page can be updated without the need to reload the entire page. An example of this in action is the Google Maps application which allows users to scroll around the map, and load new images without reloading the page.
