First lesson

We had a lecture/discussion centered around how websites work and which programming languages are used on the internet.

web-based programming languages can be grouped into two types:

Client side programs are executed in the users browser.
Html, CSS, Javascript

Server side programs are executed on the server, and the output sent to the users browser.
Php, SQL, MySQL, .asp, .net


When a website user browses a website that utilises server side programs, queries are sent from the users browser to the server side program (on the server, PHP for example), that processes the information, and returns the result as client side information (HTML, CSS).
