The document discusses client-side processing in web applications. It defines client-side as referring to any code or processes that run in the user's browser rather than on a remote server. The main points made are:
- Client-side code is executed on the user's device and allows customizing web pages, validating form inputs, and interacting with content without reloading the page.
- JavaScript is primarily used for client-side processing due to its support in all major browsers. Other options include VBScript and jQuery.
- Client-side code runs faster than server-side as it avoids network latency, but browser incompatibilities can affect performance and security is a larger concern as code is publicly visible.
