Learning Script Language
Script Language map
Script language is an interpretive
language. All script languages that are deployed on programming web sites such as CGI,
JavaScript and VBSrcipt are the interpretive languages. The interpretive language
manipulates build-in properties, methods, and events of an objective. For example,
good old CGI script manipulates its server's (originally Unix's Apache Server) properties,
methods, and events. The HTML form tags runs CGI script on its server when called from the
browser. Similarly, JavaScript and VBScript manipulate not only the HTML tags but
also properties, method and events of DOM: Document Object Model or in other words
browser's properties, methods and events. And on a server server's properties,
method and everts. VBScript, for example, manipulates the Internet Information
Server's properties, methods and events. Similarly, JavaScript manipulates Netscape
Enterprise Server's properties, methods and event. JavaScript has been very popular to program objects of the cloent
side (browser) JavaScript with its syntax manipulates the Client Objecs that are called
DOM: document object model. DOM are made of window and document. Window has event, frames,
location, history, navigator, screen and document. Document has anchors, applets,
children, embeds, forms, images, links, plugins, all, scripts, and styleSheets. Each one
of these objects has its own properties, methods and events.

- VBScript: Server Objects
VBScript has been very famous for programming server side objects,
especially the Internet Information Server. The development of ASP: Active Server
Pages technology has expand the scope of VBScript drastically. It manipulates the
SOM: Script Object Model on both client and server sides. Server Objects on IIS are
Application, Request, Response, Server and Session. Thies server objects have their own
methods and event and manipulate static and content objects.

- CGIScript: Server Script language
CGI in the beginning of the World Wide Web have been very famous
for programming Unix Apache server applications. CGI is purely server side scripting
language. As it has been mentioned on other pages that CGI can be written by any language
for any HTTP server such as Apache, IIS, NES, etc. However Perl is the most use language
to design CGI and Apache is the server which has the most CGI applications deployed.
- CGI Script Syntax
These are the main script languages that
dominates Internet application progamming. In term of database application intergration
with there script language SQL is the most popular and working database script language
that is working for any database from Oracle to small database such as Foxpro or Excel to
deploy on the web.
