Terms Explained

Flash™
Is compiled content (ie. it doesn't require your browser to interpret any code). Instead  your browser requires a 'Flash Player' plug-in to run it. It can be used to create content that is visually superb, but is often overused (see main section to revealing how & weaknesses).

 

Javascript
Javascript is a programming language and is not compiled - ie. It code is interpreted by you browser. Javascript was engineered with the intention of creating a method of dynamically manipulating webpages without the need for refreshing the page.

 

Browser
This is the name given to the program that you use to view the internet. The most common examples are:

  • Firefox
  • Chrome
  • Safari
  • Opera
  • Internet Explorer
  • most modern phones will now also have a browser built in.

They can vary wildly in their abilities to interpret code and how they display what they are capable of interpreting.

A test can be found in the sidebar of the homepage, and some good browsers can be downloaded for free from our 'Downloads' page.

Virtual Tours

The above Virtual tour is about 3years old. We have newer tours that will replace/join this in the coming months, but for now we're going to leave an older one so you can see how it hasn't aged.
