hi, What is scripting language and how many type of it . And also what is difference between JAVA Scripts and VB Scripts?
A programming language in which programs are a series of commands that are interpreted and then executed one by one. The programs do not need to be compiled. VBScript syntax is based on Visual Basic and was developed by MS, JavaScript was developed by Netscape
(skript´ing lang´gwij) (n.) A high-level programming language that is interpreted by another program at runtime rather than compiled by the computer’s processor as other programming languages (such as C and C++) are. Scripting languages, which can be embedded within HTML, commonly are used to add functionality to a Web page, such as different menu styles or graphic displays or to serve dynamic advertisements. These types of languages are client-side scripting languages, affecting the data that the end user sees in a browser window. Other scripting languages are server-side scripting languages that manipulate the data, usually in a database, on the server. Scripting languages came about largely because of the development of the Internet as a communications tool. JavaScript, ASP, JSP, PHP, Perl, Tcl and Python are examples of scripting languages.
