I need some help in learning JavaScript?

Question

I wanted to learn JavaScript, both client-side scripting and server side scripting. I have been to a site called w3schools.com but it only teaches the client-side scripting. I need some help on this. Also, for server-side scripting, do i need to install anything? I have MySQL server installed. Will it work? Please help, thank you!

Answer 1

Javascript is client side scripting.



ASP, JSP, ASP.NET, PHP are some of the server side scripting languages. You need a web server to be installed on your computer to do so. Install Microsoft IIS Server for ASP, ASP.NET or PHP. For JSP install Apache Tomcat Server.



MySQL is a database sever, as of now you do not need it. First gain some experience in server side programming and then when you are comfortable with it, then go to database programming.



w3schools.com is a good website, you can learn server side scripting also through it.

Answer 2

There really isn't any one version of "server-side JavaScript" - it kind of broke into a bunch of different server-side languages that base themselves on JavaScript. Two notable examples are ASP (Active Server Pages) and JSP (JavaServer Pages).



I encourage you to visit the source link below to find out just how many branches of server-side JavaScript there really are.



Unfortunately, MySQL is only a database system that uses SQL to process queries, not an actual scripting language. It is, however, used in many server-side scripting languages to store and retrieve information.

There is nothing to be installed if u have java on ur system.
