A general description of the usage style of the tools used to
create BOARD18 is presented here.

== JavaScript Coding Style ==
JavaScript is a scripting language that allows for procedural,
object-oriented, and functional programming styles.
BOARD18 is almost exclusivly coded using procedural JavaScript.
This is mainly due to historical reasons.
First, before ECMAScript 6 came out in 2015 JavaScript leaned
toward being a procedural language. But, more importantly,
when I started writing BOARD18, I was a crusty old semi-retired
programmer who had no use for any new fangled fads like OOP.

That being said, BOARD18 does use 6 special purpose JavaScript
objects. [[Object_List|<span style="color: Red">They are listed here.</span>]]

== jQuery ==
BOARD18 uses the jQuery library extensivly to format its pages.
BOARD18 does not use any of the modern "frameworks" that have
become popular lately.

== PHP Coding Style ==
Before PHP5, PHP was a procedural scripting language. And that is
how BOARD18 uses it for the most part. Lately a few '''class''' statements
have made their way into some functions. They are mostly used to build structures
that can be stringified using json_encode() and echoed back
to the client as strings.

== The mysqli Extension ==
BOARD18 uses the mysqli extension of PHP to access its database.
The mysqli extension features a dual interface.
It supports both procedural and object-oriented interfaces.
BOARD18 uses the procedural mysqli interface.
