What is a scripting language and why might I need it for my website?

web designers - Adelphi Agency Frequently Asked Questions
HTML, the prominent computer code underpinning the Internet is a "stateless medium." Without the appropriate technologies: "scripting languages" and databases webpage can only display static information. Even with simplest tasks taken for granted on the Internet today (e.g. sending an email from a form, display the current date or remembering how many items in a shopping cart) could not be accomplished without the implementation of technologies to augment HTML functionality.

alphaWorks : IBM Reflexive User Interface Builder : FAQs
The IBM Reflexive User Interface Builder comes with several languages pre-configured (perhaps future versions will have more), such as Python and JavaScript. You can add another language by creating a subclass of com.ibm.wac.rib.core.interp.CodeInterpreter and registering your subclass in the scriptlang.properties file. Java Python (Jython) is the most supported language. You may also use embedded Java code to script GUIs.

Why is the Scripting language based on the Pascal language?

NEWBIE - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We chose Pascal for it's easy natural language like syntax. Unlike other programming languages that require strict conformance such as requiring the syntax to be case-sensitive, Pascal provides a simple non-restricting readable syntax with a Begin..End as the starting point for execution. Another major advantage is the built-in Pascal Compiler in Newbie that is fast, light and quick when executing scripts. Back to Top

Do you learn a language, and if so, what language do you learn?

Odyssey School for the Gifted: Kids' FAQ

In the 8th grade, we have mastered Japanese skills that are enough to talk and understand simple conversations, and we take a three week trip to Japan and we stay at Japanese home stays, and we must speak Japanese the whole time.

Do you use a scripting based simulation language?

iGrafx - Enabling Process Excellence
We do not utilize any text-based simulation modeling language that requires you to learn another language in order to conduct simulations. Our simulation capabilities were designed with the non-expert in mind. Through the interface, you have several levels of expertise that can come into play. As you draw your process map, you are automatically creating the base model. You can then add preliminary data such as resources, durations, costs, etc.

What is server-side scripting?

Forum FAQ - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
Many new web servers will preprocess a web page before relaying it onto the clients browser. By embedding scripts into these pages, the server can change the way the page is created before it is even sent to the user. This allows a wealth of systems to be created, from simple database queries to forums and e-commerce applications. There are several types of server scripting environments, the most popular being ASP/ASP.

What language should I learn first?

How To Become A Hacker
XHTML (the latest dialect of HTML) if you don't already know it. There are a lot of glossy, hype-intensive bad HTML books out there, and distressingly few good ones. The one I like best is HTML: The Definitive Guide. But HTML is not a full programming language. When you're ready to start programming, I would recommend starting with Python. You will hear a lot of people recommending Perl, and Perl is still more popular than Python, but it's harder to learn and (in my opinion) less well designed.

Do I have to learn a new programming or query language to use MySQL Cluster?

Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions About MySQL 5.1

How can SciPy be fast if it is written in an interpreted language like Python?

FAQ -
Actually, the time-critical loops are usually implemented in C or Fortran. Much of SciPy is a thin layer of code on top of the scientific routines that are freely available at www.netlib.org. Netlib is a huge repository of incredibly valuable and robust scientific algorithms written in C and Fortran. It would be silly to rewrite these algorithms and would take years to debug them. SciPy uses a variety of methods to generate "wrappers" around these algorithms so that they can be used in Python.

Why not Python, PHP, Ruby, .Net, Java or any other language?
