    My name is Wahab khan.

    I am the student of Class MCS 3rd At


    Peshawar university Pakistan.

    Fist of All I thanks to My Dear teacher Engineer Mr. Hamid jan who
    give me the opportunity to Present over here.

    Today my topic for presentation is “The Advantages and


    disadvantages of Script languages ”.

    Presented by Wahab khan 1


    What is a Script ?

    A movie or a play follows a script-a list of actions


    (or lines) for the actors to perform.

    A web script provides the same type of


    instructions for the web browser. A script can
    range from a single line to a full-scale application.
    (In either case, Scripts usually run within a
    browser.)
    Scripting Languages Continue…

    Scripting languages support high level language


    control features such as selection and iteration
    (syntax) but they are not considered programming
    languages as such. Often referred to as 'glue-
    code' they are instead, seen as being an
    enhancement of particular software packages or
    applications .

    Presented by Wahab khan 3


    Example of Scripting language:

    • VBScript
    • JavaScript
    • Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language).
    • AppleScript
    • Hypertalk
    • Lingo
    • PhpLanguage
    • Smalltalk Language
    • Groovy Language
    • Ruby Language etc

    Presented by Wahab khan 4


    Why We need to use Scripts?

    Web browsers have added scripting languages to


    extend the capabilities of static websites into dynamic
    applications, that provide more richer features to the
    user.

    These dynamic contents may be scrolling text,


    menus, pop-up windows, animations etc.

    Presented by Wahab khan 5


    Advantages of scripting languages..

    • programmer need little expertise to develop


    interactive web pages with minimum effort.
    • easy to learn and use
    • minimum programming knowledge or experience
    required
    • allow complex tasks to be performed in relatively
    few steps
    • allow simple creation and editing in a variety of text
    editors

    Presented by Wahab khan 6


    Advantages Continue…
    • allow the addition of dynamic and interactive activities to
    web pages.
    • editing and running code is fast.
    • Validate the contents of a form and make calculations
    (for example, an order form can automatically display a
    running total as you enter item quantities).
    • Animate images or create images that change when you
    move the mouse over them.
    • Create ad banners that interact with the user, rather than
    simply displaying a graphic.

    Presented by Wahab khan 7


    Advantages continue…

    • Detect the browser in use or its features and


    perform advanced functions only on browsers that
    support them.

    • Detect installed plug-ins and notify the user if a


    plug-in is required.

    Presented by Wahab khan 8


    Some disadvantages of scripting
    languages…
    • Extended Coding: The use of Script in web design
    can even cause the web pages to expand. it can
    extend to several lines of code.

    • Reduces Search Engine Friendliness: Use of


    Script coding for a website reduces its search
    engine friendliness. If the Script language coding is
    not stored separately, then the search engine
    crawlers find it difficult to crawl the web pages for
    keywords and content.

    Presented by Wahab khan 9


    Basic concepts

    • A web server is a computer program that delivers


    (serves) content, such as web pages, using the
    Hypertext Transfer Protocol to client.

    A client, commonly a web browser or web crawler,


    initiates communication by making a request for a
    specific resource using HTTP and the server responds
    with the content of that resource, or an error message if
    unable to do so.

    Presented by Wahab khan 10


    Basic concepts continue…

    • When we create a dynamic html page the code


    that makes the changes to the web page must be
    run in one of two places.

    • It can be client-side code executed by the user's


    web browser, or it can be server-side code
    executed by the server.

    Presented by Wahab khan 11


    Server and Client side-scripting

    • Client side scripting is a script, usually in the


    language Javascript, that is executed by the
    browser (i.e. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari,
    Opera, etc.).

    • Server side scripting means that all of the code is


    executed on the server before the data is passed
    to the user's browser.

    Presented by Wahab khan 12


    Server client side scripting continue…
    Client side scripts are executed and changed by the
    user on his side (the client side), while server side
    scripts are executed and changed by the user on the
    server. Server side scripts provide much more
    functionality for and by the wide variety of users (and
    their respective computer/browser settings) all around.

    Server side, any programming language can be used


    to implement various Web applications and the most
    popular choices are scripting languages such as PHP,
    Perl, Python, and Ruby, and interpreted languages
    such as Java and C#.

    Presented by Wahab khan 13


    What can Server Scripts Do?

    • Dynamically edit, change or add any content to a


    Web page

    • Respond to user queries or data submitted from


    HTML forms

    • Access any data or databases and return the


    results to a browser

    • Provide security since your server code cannot be


    viewed from a browser

    Presented by Wahab khan 14


    FAQ’S
    • What is a Pops-up ?
    Think????????????

    • What is Server-side Scripting?

    • Does the Bowser need to support server side scripts


    before execution if Yes: why if No: how ?

    • How the WWW works ?
