This article provides some useful information about the different programming languages used in making websites i.e. client side programming languages, server side programming languages and database programming languages.

Today, The craze about having own website is increasing among the new learners.They wish to have their own website and get some revenue from the website.It`s very easy to make a website and publishing it online but the work thereafter is quite difficult.

Web Programming is mainly divided into two broad categories : 

  • Front-end-programming also called client-side programming 
  • Back-end programming also called server-side programming.



Front-end Programming or Client-side programming :



Client-side programming refers to  the programs which will run on the Client machine or what a user sees on loading a webpage.Javascript is considered as the main (primary) Client side programming language which is,of course, used in addition with HTML and CSS. Javascript is called so because it runs scripts on your computer after you’ve loaded a web page.


Client-side programming Used to :



--Send requests to the server, and retrieve data from it.
--Run checks on form values and send alerts to the user's browser
--Make interactive webpages.
--Make stuff happen dynamically on the web page.
--Interact with temporary storage and local storage (Cookies, local Storage).
Any language running on a client device that interacts with a remote service is a client-side language.

Examples of Client-side programming languages :  JavaScript , CSS

HTML ( Hyper Text Markup Language ) is  is a markup language used for creating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a web browser.Every web page on the net is written in HTML,HTML documents are also called web pages.  

CSS ( Cascading Style Sheets ) is a code for setting style rules for the appearance of web pages.It is used for designing any webpage i.e. how to display HTML elements.
JavaScript is a scripting language that’s widely used to add functionality and interactivity to web pages.JavaScript code can be executed by all modern web browsers and it is a lightweight programming language.

Example :


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My first page</h1>
<script>
document.write("<p>JavaScript Example</p>");
</script>
</body>
</html> 





Back-end Programming or Server-side Programming:


Server-side programming refers to  the programs which will run on the server, not on the user`s computer.These run the scripts before the HTML is loaded, not after.PHP is one of the most popular server side programming language.


Server-side Programming Used to :


--Process user input.
--Structure web applications.
--Display pages.
--Interact with permanent storage (Database).


Examples of Server-side programming languages :PHP, VB.Script, ASP, 

ASP.NETJSP, perl, C#Python, Ruby on Rails etc.

PHP ( PHP Hypertext Preprocessor )  is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. It  is a powerful tool for making dynamic and interactive Web pages quickly.It is widely-used as it is free and open source scripting language.

Example :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<body>
<?php
echo "Example of PHP script!";
?>

</body>
</html>
Also C, C++, Java are now often used for application-level web services.
Server hosts the website and sends down the HTML code,A back-end often uses a database to generate the front-end.



Database Programming Languages :


Database languages are used to store and retrieve data from the storage devices.There are many database languages which are widely used for storing data and hence, for retrieve data when a request is made.

Examples of Database Programming Languages :My SQL, db2 , Big Table, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle etc.


Example : mysql>

show databases ; 
create database temp;   
use temp;
create table student;
(
roll int primary key;
name varchar(25);
);
insert into student values (101,'abc');
insert into student values (102,'xyz');
show tables;
drop table student;
drop database temp;

This is some information about programming languages which may help you in understanding them in a better way.There are many languages used in making websites,some are listed here as examples only.Any language can be used according to its functionality for specific purpose.There are no restrictions.

That`s all.


Have Fun!
