The document discusses server-side processing, which involves processing a client's request on the server rather than on the client-side device. It describes the basic functions of a server-side processing system as receiving a request from the client, processing it by retrieving relevant information from a database, and sending the information back to the client. Some key advantages of server-side processing are also summarized, such as improved performance, security, and consistent user experience across different devices.

2. SERVER-SIDE PROCESSING

3. SERVER-SIDE PROCESSING
Server-side processing is an approach where
processing occurs on the server, as opposed to your
device (the client).
This implies that all the key actions — data retrieval,
formatting responses, accessing databases .
The function of a server-side processing system can
be succinctly summarised:

4. The client sends a request to the server.
The server processes this request and sends back a
response which is then rendered on your device.
Request: You perform an action, like clicking on a
product.
Process: The server pulls up relevant information from
the database.
Response: The server sends this information back to
you.

6. FUNCTION OF A SERVER-SIDE PROCESSING SYSTEM
The Function of a Server-Side Processing system is to
receive a request from the Client , Process this request
by retrieving relevant Information from the Database,
and send this Information back to the Client.
The Function of a Server-Side Processing System is to
track the actions of the Client and report them back to
the database.

7. The Function of a Server-Side Processing
System is to Store Information on the Client's
device for easy access during the next visit.
The Function of a Server-Side Processing
System is to render the webpage on your device
after you've clicked on a product.

8. SERVER SIDE PROCESSING: IN-DEPTH
The typical server-side processing sequence:
1: Client sends request
2: Server accepts and processes request
 3: Server fetches data from database
4: Server prepares response
 5: Server sends response back to client
 6: Client renders received data

9.  An interesting aspect of server-side processing involves the
languages it uses.
 Often, languages like PHP, Python and Node.js are used to
facilitate processing on the server end.
 PHP: A server-side scripting language used predominantly
in web development.
 PYTHON: A high-level, all-purpose programming language
which finds extensive use in server-side processing.
 NODE.JS: Executes JavaScript code outside the confines of a
web browser, enabled by the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine.

11. SERVER SIDE PROCESSING: THE BENEFITS IT OFFERS
 Server Side Processing, a fundamental element of computer
science, entails myriad inherent benefits that enhance the
overall web experience.
 Its invaluable capabilities are often leveraged by businesses
and end-users to fulfill their diverse needs.
 With enormous advantages, such as performance optimisation,
efficient data handling, and bolstered security, server-side
processing stands as the bedrock of contemporary web-based
interactions.

12. KEY FEATURES OF SERVER SIDE PROCESSING
The core essence of Server Side Processing revolves
around its potent features that govern how a client's
request is meticulously processed on the server.
One standout feature is the processing power
harnessed by servers.
This aids in executing substantial computational tasks
that client devices might struggle with due to
constraints in capacity.

13. Another notable attribute is the ability to handle multiple
client requests concurrently.
This concurrent processing, facilitated through
techniques as multithreading and asynchronous
programming, ensures that several users can use the
service.
simultaneously without detrimental impacts on
response times.

14. ADVANTAGES OF SERVER SIDE PROCESSING FOR
BUSINESSES AND USERS
BUSINESSES:
 Server Side Processing presents business-
driven advantages.
 It allows businesses to maintain better
control over their application's functionality,
data, and security.
 Businesses also gain from the reduced need
to roll out frequent client-side updates as
changes are primarily managed server-side.

15. USER:
Users gain from quick loading times, since server-side
processing offloads the need for heavy client-side
computation. Enhanced security measures, driven by
server-side encryption, can protect users against
potential cyber security threats.
Lastly, users benefit from a consistent user experience
across various devices, as server-driven changes are
uniformly experienced by all users.

16. EXPLORING SERVER SIDE
PROCESSING EXAMPLES IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES
Server-side processing has become an integral part of
various industries:

17. Finance: In finance, server-side processing aids in
swift transactions, encrypting sensitive data, and fraud
detection.
 Banks and other financial institutions use server-side
processing to securely handle customer's financial
information and to comply with regulatory standards.

18. Healthcare: Medical professionals and institutions
heavily depend on server-side processing for
maintaining patient records, scheduling procedures,
and conducting telemedicine sessions.
Healthcare providers store and manage data such as
patient health records, prescription histories, and
diagnostic reports on secure servers.

19. Education: With the advent of digital learning, server-
side processing plays a crucial role in providing course
materials, managing student assessments, and mirroring
classroom interactions in a digital environment.
Web-based learning platforms and applications rely on
server-side processing for diverse tasks such as content
delivery, user authentication, progress tracking, and
collaboration tools.

20. Advantages
 The information doesn't need to be downloaded
to the client’s computers.
 It is not browser specific.
 Speed
Disadvantages
 Security
 It could affect speed if web users are asking the data

21. EXAMPLE
 Server side processing happens when a page is first requested
and when pages are posted back to the server.
 Example of a sever side processing are user validation, saving and
retrieving data, and navigating to other pages.
