  1. It's quick to write browser applications in **_EasyCoder_**. Website development is faster and sites are more reliable.
  1. **_EasyCoder_** scripts are smaller than the corresponding JavaScript and are easy to read by most people, not just by programmers. This matters later on when maintenance is needed and the original programmer may no longer be available.
- 1. In WordPress systems you don't have to figure where to put custom JavaScript files, because the **_EasyCoder_** script is kept in its own section of your WordPress page or post, or downloaded from your database. It's easy to see the context of each script and what it does and the script is less likely to get lost during maintenance of the site.
- 1. **_EasyCoder_** plugin has the ability to single-step its scripts, showing you its variables at each step, which makes it easier to see what's happening.

  1. When things go wrong an error message pops up, showing you which line of the code you reached. The error message also gets written to the browser console.
  1. The language has commands to do things that are very complex to do in JavaScript, such as handling REST dialogs, custom GUI elements and vector graphics. These are all written in JavaScript and supplied as parts of the various modules.
  1. Program data can be put into JSON files and either provided as a hidden block in your HTML or downloaded on demand using the REST commands. This allows you to keep your HTML as just structure and to write the content in from the script.
  1. **_EasyCoder_** has a fully pluggable architecture. This allows any owner of JavaScript functionality to 'wrap' this in script commands and offer it as a plugin, allowing any site developer to use it without the need to learn JavaScript. Typical examples of such wrappers that are already provided are Google Maps or and CKEditor, each of which presents a concise API and has functionality that's easily understood and easy to describe in plain English. Well-encapsulated products are ideal candidates for implementation as **_EasyCoder_** plug-ins.
- 1. **_EasyCoder_** includes a REST server that permits scripts to access resources on demand from the server rather than having them embedded in the page. Resources include scripts, HTML components, CSS and general data, and all can be loaded and unloaded dynamically.
+ 1. **_EasyCoder_** includes a REST server that permits scripts to access resources on demand from the server rather than having them embedded in the page. Resources include scripts, HTML components, CSS and general data, and all can be loaded and unloaded dynamically. Two versions of the REST server are provided, written in PHP and Python respectively.
  1. **_EasyCoder_** is well suited to the construction of single-page web designs of unlimited size. The memory space occupied by JavaScript remains roughly the same no matter how many scripts and data you load and unload using REST. There is no memory or performance hit as the size of the project grows, because modules remain on the server, ready for use, instead of taking up browser space.
 
-To use **_EasyCoder_** all you need is to include its main JavaScript file in the _HEAD_ of your web page. It will call in any other JavaScript files it needs. An example is given in the Intro page of [our website](https://easycoder.github.io). You can alternatively build a standalone page where all the files are present on your own server, which avoids any possible risk of your site breaking when updates occur. SWe do our best to prevent this happening but it's impossible to cover all possibilities.

 It is said that there's a shortage of competent programmers, a belief that's confirmed by the huge number of job vacancies all asking for skills such as React. If that's true then the use of React or similar tools in any project that is not managed by a permanent team is almost guaranteed to result in problems later with maintenance. If it's hard to find developers now then the chances of locating a skilled React engineer in 5-10 years' time at a price compatible with effective maintenance are vanishingly small.

 The upper half of the file is the _HEAD_ of the document. In here is a call to load the ~ec~ JavaScript engine that we'll be using instead of regular JavaScript. It's called from a _Content Delivery Network_ that takes files from the main source-code repository for ~ec~. Don't worry if this is all a bit too technical; it's not necessary to understand in order to use it.
