IM 101 – Scripting Languages

As we wind down the course in Web Design 101, some attention should be paid to scripting languages. Scripts are nothing more than programming code (software) that allows Web pages to become both more interactive as well as dynamic. Though it really isn’t necessary for most IMers to learn much if any scripting, it’s still a pretty good idea to get an appreciation of the power they possess and in what circumstances you might want to employ scripts.

The first order of business is to distinguish between the two types of scripts:

  • Server-side scripts
  • Client-side scripts

Google Mini Slaps
