Internet technologies

The Internet is of course a big phenomena, and Linux is a big part of it. Linux servers are very popular, and you can be a part of this revolution.

Among available technologies, here are the most popular ones:

· Java - The Java language is a new and powerful language made to be cross-platform. Since the Web must be available on all systems, this makes Java a very powerful tool. You can make Java applets that will run on the user's system and display information or interact with him.

· JavaScript - This is similar to Java, but in a Web page itself. It is embedded in HTML, to do small functions like rollover scripts, and making text appear on the screen.

· CGI - The CGI protocol is very much in use for servers with some sort of account system, like online shops and search engines. You can make CGI scripts in any language, and make your Web server run them on the server.
