The document explains the difference between client-side and server-side scripts in web development. Client-side scripts run on the user's computer and focus on frontend aspects, while server-side scripts run on the server and handle backend processes. Both script types work together to process user input and manage data transactions, highlighting their equal importance in application design.

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.
