Abstract
This chapter talks about how programming languages have evolved over time. Since the rise of the Internet in the 1990s, a lot of languages and tools have been developed to support it. One of the best-known languages is HTML, which is used to create web sites. Together with JavaScript and CSS style sheets, it allows the creation of dynamic web sites that can be displayed by a browser. I discuss HTML and JavaScript in detail in this chapter, and you see how to create a simple web application that uses the HTML5 canvas in combination with JavaScript.
