Java - "Java technology is a portfolio of products that are based on the power of networks and the idea that the same software should run on many different kinds of systems and devices." (Sun Microsystems website).
JSP or
JavaServer Pages,is a Java technology that allows developers to dynamically generate HTML, XML, or some other type of web page (Wikipedia).
XML is the
Extensible Markup Language. It is designed to improve the functionality of the Web by providing more flexible and adaptable information identification.
PHP is a widely used, general purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development.
Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages, and comes with extensive standard libraries.
SOAP, or
Simple Object Access Protocol, is a protocol for messages used in a web service. The World Wide Web Consortium defines SOAP as "an XML-based protocol to exchange information in a decentralized and distributed environment".
