Let’s kick off with the kinds of code that we will be using here.

First off we will have code that runs on a PC, code that runs on a Web Server and code that runs on a Web Browser.

Code that runs on a PC

For this we will use batch files (code that runs when triggered by a timer on our Windows PC). This might be used to download and process zip files from the web such as product catalogs. And then upload the data to our web site.

Batch files contain simple commands such as to run programs and move or rename files.

Also, we will use C# (MS C Sharp) which will be used to do more complicated operations such as reformatting data on our PC.

We may also create Macros which are a way to automate software on our computer such as a spread sheet.

Code that runs on a Web Server

For this we will use PHP (to produce the dynamic web pages) and MySQL (the database code) to access and update the data that is used with our web pages.

Also, we will use special code that affects how the web server responds to the URLs of our web pages. This will be used to create keyword URLs and sub domain pages.

Code that runs in a Web Browser

The main one is HTML (that defines the structure of our web pages), CSS (to define the appearance of our web pages), and Javascript (to check what people enter into our web forms).

There are many other kinds of code, but these are the main ones that we will be using for our Internet Marketing purposes.

If you want to read up on these coding languages, I suggest the following order of importance: HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript and then the others in no particular order.

So, hopefully I got you curious to learn more and didn’t  scare you off! I will be posting about how to implement some exciting stuff here such as how to display product listings in response to search terms that brought a visitor to your site and all kinds of highly relevant material to Internet Marketers.
