Java 

Java is a programming language developed by a guy called James Gosling and was released in 1995 and was used as a core component in the Java Platform. it is used to run lots of multimedia programs and games a good example of this (even if it is nerdy) is runescape, its an online multi player adventure/quest game  http://www.runescape.com/.


java has a few basic goals that include: It should be "simple, object oriented and familliar", It should be "robust and secure", it should be "architecture-neutral and portable", It should execute with "high performance" and It should be "interpreted, threaded and dynamic"

HTML
HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the predominant markup language for nearly all web pages. it is mainly written in the form of elements consisting of tags, enclosed in angle brackets. Most of the tage are written in pairs e.g- <h1> and </h1> designers can place text and images etc..... The web browser makes the HTML documents into visible/audible web pages.

HTML elements form the main building blocks to nearly all websites, HTML allows basically all types of text and image to be embedded into the page it can also provide a mean to create structured documents by using structural semantics this allows you to create headings,paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items.

PHP

PHP is a "general-purpose server-side scripting language" originally designed to produce dynamic web pages. it can be used to make calculations like working out what the date and time is and all sorts of mathematical equations! this can be usefull if your web page has to display the date and time, and/or when collecting browsing data from people using your web sight. also it can allow a user to enter information on an online shopping cart( name, address and payment information) PHP is widely used and is installed on more than 20 million websites and 1 million web servers!
