What is Dynamic Internet Programming?

I was in an elevator of all places the other day and began doing what I do often, striking up conversations with a stranger. He was a lawyer and I introduced myself as president of Intoria, a "dynamic Internet programming firm." During the discussion that followed, it became clear to me that this gentleman had no idea what the difference between "dynamic Internet programming" and the more common "static Internet programming" was. If the door to his floor hadn’t opened, perhaps I would have had time to describe to him the power that is available online when programming dynamically. Perhaps he’ll stumble upon this blog and understand the important difference.

Intoria is a dynamic Internet programming firm. At this time, I am not describing the team that works here, nor the pace of our office environment. I am referring to the capability of the complex websites we create which are able to change instantly based on user input. For example, have you ever been to a website which shows an out of date copyright year in the footer? This is a perfect simple example of static Internet programming. However, when programming with a dynamic Internet programming language, the website will sense the time the page loads, and always display the current year so it is never out of date.

Take this to an advanced level, complex, ever changing sites that fully respond to user interaction is the basis of sites that are useful. As an example, when you want to book a flight, an airline site needs to find out where you are and where you want to go, then do numerous calculations and computations based on the dates and locations to submit you your results. This would be impossible to program pages for every iteration, so dynamic (or changing) programming is used.
