Description

Advanced Web Technologies for modern Web-based User Interfaces.

To create dynamic web pages on an embedded system, you can use various techniques that are state-of-the-art for modern computer systems:

• CGI Programming is the standard method used to generate dynamic content on web pages. A scripting language provides access to the underlying hardware.
• AJAX Programming is a group of web development techniques used on the client-side (in the browser) to create interactive web applications. With AJAX, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page.
• SOAP Programming provides a way to communicate between applications running on different operating systems, with different technologies and programming languages.

Note

The examples used in these sections are based on the HTTP Server example. All file names mentioned in the sections can be found in this example. If this example is not available for your target hardware, have a look at the code for another development platform. Porting the code to your underlying hardware is easy when using the MDK-Professional Middleware.
