Abstract
This paper discusses the development of interactive websites to teach AJAX, JSON, and for-loops in Java. The project integrates web technologies to create an engaging platform that enhances programming comprehension e-learning. A comparison is made between using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript versus the Wix platform for web development. HTML and CSS provide structure and visual design, while JavaScript enables interactivity, data handling, and real-time demonstrations of programming logic. Wix, although user-friendly and efficient for quick design, offers limited customization and scripting control. The findings show that traditional coding tools better support the learning of programming concepts, while Wix is suitable for simplified design and presentation. With both implementations, the interactive system effectively combines web development and Java programming to promote active learning and improve student understanding of key technical concepts.
