Program Interpreted Scripting Languages

Pearl | Java | Javascript | Php | Mysql

The dynamic and interactive web we enjoy today would not be possible without computer programing, client and server side scripting languages. The main script used by most website and web browsers is Javascript, a Client-Side Programing Language that performs dynamic functions on websites. However, there are other popular scripts that perform similar, different and even more complex tasks on the web.

What Is Perl?

Perl is an interpreted high-level programming language developed by Larry Wall. Perl has become the premier scripting language of the Web, as most CGI programs are written in Perl. However, Perl is widely used as a rapid prototyping language and a "glue" language that makes it possible for different systems to work well together.

Perl is popular with system administrators who use it for an infinite number of automation tasks. Perl's roots are in UNIX but you will find Perl on a wide range of computing platforms. Because Perl is an interpreted language, Perl programs are highly portable across systems. Go here for more on Perl

JavaScript Interpreted Programing Language

Javascript is an interpreted programing language that can be used to add interactivity and dynamic functions to webpages. It is common to find web developers referring to Javascript as a scripting language based on the assumption it is easier to script than program. The distinction hardly make and difference, but could vary depending on who you ask. One thing that's very clear, Javascript is a Client-side language built to work directly on your machine.

Javascript was created by Netscape in 1995 as the first Web scripting language called LiveScript. It was soon to be called JavaScript based on its business marketing relationship with Java. Since then, Javascript have become the most popular and widely used script for executing programed commands on webpages viewed in a web browse.

Java Application Programing Language

Java and Javascript are not the same. They actually don't have much in common, and practically nothing to do with each other. Java was created and developed by Sun Microsystems as a full-featured programing language capable of creating complete applications that control most modern electronic devices.

Java is actually a descendant of the C and C++ programing Languages.  It was designed to function as a cross-platform programing language that provide programmers with the ability to write a Java program that works on any type of machine runing Windows, Mac OS, or Unix. The full potential of Java is yet to be realized due to the complexities involved in its implementation.


PHP Data Processing Scripting Language

PHP is a scripting language application that emerged in 1994 as a new markup option for building web pages and performing other server side functions. The original meaning of PHP was Personal Home Page. Further development and improvement of the script capabilities led to it's wide spread use and popularity amongst web designers and developers today.

The utilization of PHP in a professional capacity gave way to a new definition called Hypertext Processor. The New PHP definition allude to the task of phasing and processing data before it is displayed as Html.  More hypertext processor resources can be found at the "Zen" the site of php core creators.


Mysql Database Management System

What Is Mysql? MySQL is a relational database management system. It is a Open Source SQL database provided by MySQL AB. MySQL is very fast, reliable, and easy to use. It also has a very practical set of features developed in very close cooperation with our users.

MySQL was originally developed to handle very large databases much faster than existing solutions and has been successfully used in highly demanding production environments for several years. Though under constant development, MySQL today offers a rich and very useful set of functions. The connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL highly suited for accessing databases on the Internet.
