what is the meta language?
490242
Wow... there are some really bad answers here.  LOL...\n\nAnyway, the term "meta" is used in the programming word to mean the language that describes a thing or language.  The best way to understand this is to hear examples.  \n\n(1) When you rip MP3 songs to your hard drive from a CD, you write the title and artist into those files.  That is called METAdata.  The METAdata describes the contents of the file.\n\n(2) When it comes to HTML, you can create META tags that describe the contents of that HTML doc.  The META tags describe the contents of that HTML file.\n\n(3) In a database server, we can create tables, stored procedures, functions and other things.  When we create these objects, we can use METAlanguage to describe the use, and purpose of these objects.\n\n(4) When programming in MS .Net, we can create METAlanguage in the code that describes what the code is doing.\n\nBasically, whenever you see "meta" if generally means that something is describing something.  In your case you are asking, "what is the meta language" and I guess the most accurate answer would rely on which language you were trying to describe.  Is it HTML?  Is it Flash Actionscript?  Javascript?  In most programming languages, meta language can be synonymous with comments.  Hope this helps.

Hmm.... I can't seem to find one on the sites I've checked, but based on inference, I would guess it would be something like Argmt. or Agmt. These aren't official, mind you, but with a little hard work they could be ;) .

it is a slow but reliable language that you can perform \n+-*/ and basic logic operations in almost at will. it is perfect for database applications. but as i have said it is slow. because it rarely allows you to make mistakes. it checks you every second. so it is slow. got it? it must be considered as a launchpad before trying to do sth tougher. it is a way to get used to computer logic and programming fundamentals. if your plans are that much however, that is an ok language. there is 1 thing that u should keep in mind while programming in vb. if you are writing do or while loops, as u will write, before compilation please save the work. otherwise if it goes in an infinite loop, all your work after your last save goes bust. for example in c++ there is no worry to do that; it saves your every action instantly. but thats another issue. vb is nice. work on it.

Do you mean the framework, or the common runtime language?

Exactly right, meta-tags are used to create the description search engines display. Here is site explaining how to do it in html: http://searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/article.php/2167931\n. In the yahoo site builder look for any place to put in html code and stick it in there. Unfortuneatly, I'm pretty sure that you might have to request to get your site on the search engine and/or it might take a few months before it shows up.\nGood luck.

metacrawler.com is a search engine that uses multiple search engines. It searches through other search engines, then combine the results for you.

I don't know. I read a bit about the software. I've used language software with some of the same features, those programs were cool. It's probably great !

meta tags are used so taht search engines can classify your pages. put it in your <HEAD> tag. and should look something like that:\n <META name="description" content="put some description here for your website">\n<META name="keywords" content="couples of category/keywords separated by commas">

Meta tags are used to provide information about a web page such as title, author, and keywords, that are not displayed on the actual page. This information is used by search engines in order to index information about your site. Most search engines now days do not put that much credence in the meta tags instead paying more attention to the actual content on the page.

Oh, man, that crap drives me up the wall.  I have no idea what the name of the language is, though, i just know that we call the people who use it all the time n00bs.  But that in and of itself is somewhat netspeak-y, so, eh.  What are you gonna do?
