4. 1) Client & Server
In a computer network:
× A computer can be setup to provide services.
This computer will be called the server.
× Many other computers will connect to the server
to use the provided service. Those computers
are called clients.

5. 2) Server Side Scripts
× Server-side scripts simply mean “scripts that
run on the server”.
× More sophisticated way is “scripts that execute
on the server to deal with backend processes”.
× Transparent to the users.
× Common server side languages are – PHP,
ASP, Ruby, Python, Java.

6. 3) Client Side Scripts
× Client-side scripts simply mean “scripts that run
on the client computer”.
× Mostly deal with frontend, user input and visual
aspects.
× Not so much on critical processing.
× Common server side languages are – HTML,
CSS, Javascript.

7. 4) Scripts VS Languages
× Scripts and languages are 2 different things.
× Server-side languages refer to the programming
languages that are specialized in creating scripts
to run on the server side.
× Server-side scripts are simply any script that
run on the server, regardless of the language.

8. 5) The work together
× Client and server side scripts work together in
unison.
× Client side collect data and input from users.
× Server side processes that data and/or
transactions.
× Both sides are equally important in the design
of an application.
