B:tags

B:tags provide fast and easy way for beginning and experienced developers to create dynamic web sites and services.

B:tags look like xml and you write them exacly like you would write a html-tag. You're able to build most of your functionality with this easy-to-learn language. When you do run into more complicated situations, you're able to mix and match B:tags together with your own PHP scripts or use the PHP API.
