Most Web pages on the Internet are static Web pages; in other words, pages that do not change unless you edit them. To put "live" data and applications on the Web (such as current sales statistics), Web site developers usually write programs that execute as middleware at the Web server to dynamically build Web pages. Writing these types of programs is not easy.
