Website development - HTML/XHTML, CSS, Javascript/AJAX, PHP, MySQL
If you need to translate your website from one language to another then I have some good news for you. Google Translate has released a JavaScript based API that’s both easy to use and implement. It can handle 13 different languages and as much as 29 language pairs.
I already checked the API documentation and it’s definitely easy to implement. Check out my sample implementation.
Form input validation is sometimes an annoying part in web development but it’s something that we web developers can’t avoid. In order to make sure that the data being entered by our users are valid, we simply have to validate. Another good use of validation is to provide feedback to the user on whether what they are typing is acceptable or not.
Ever wondered what AJAX is? AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is not a programming language in itself but rather a combination of different web development techniques. Furthermore, AJAX technology is not new though it has only been popularized recently especially by Google (Google Maps, GMail, Google Calendar, etc.)
