Writing your research paper on web design or programming can also include both subjects, depending on your knowledge and your own preferences. Some web design languages include HTML, CSS and PHP, all popular coding languages when building and operating basic websites. Many free tutorials and resource guides are available online that include coding and instructions. Some programming languages for the computer include C++, C, Visual Basic and Java. All of these programs vary in their abilities and extent of creation. You can choose one subject from web designing and one from programming to write your research paper on and combine them effectively into one paper. Because every computer coding language has an array of subtopics and research points, you can decide which topic you want to be primary in focus and which you want to be secondary.

You can write your computing research paper on viruses and malware, along with spyware, which all circulate the Internet and sometimes programs themselves.
