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: Client Objects
  • 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.

  • Document Object Model & JavaScript Syntax
  • 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.

  • Server Object Model & VBScript Syntax
  • CGIScript: Server Script language
  • Topic 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.
