Differences between server side scripting and client side scripting
Summary
TLDRThis video from Knowledge 24 explores the distinction between server-side and client-side scripting in software development. It clarifies that server-side scripts require a web server for processing and are used for dynamic page creation and database connections, offering more security as the code is hidden from users. In contrast, client-side scripts are processed by the web browser, execute faster, and are less secure due to code visibility. The video provides examples of each, such as PHP and JavaScript, and discusses their applications, like website customization and form-filling interactions.
Takeaways
- π Scripting is a set of instructions or programs for webpages executed without compilation.
- π There are two types of scripting: server-side and client-side.
- π€ Server-side scripting requires a web server for processing, while client-side scripting uses the web browser.

- π₯οΈ Server-side scripts execute on the server, with results displayed in the browser; client-side scripts execute and display in the browser.
- π‘οΈ Server-side scripting is more secure as the code is not visible to users, while client-side code is visible.
- π Server-side scripts access server settings, while client-side scripts access local user computer settings.
- β±οΈ Server-side responses can be slower due to remote processing, but client-side scripts are faster as they execute in the browser.
- π οΈ Server-side scripting is used as a back-end solution, whereas client-side scripting is used for front-end functionalities.
- π Examples of server-side scripting languages include PHP, JSP, ASP, Python, and Ruby; client-side scripting is exemplified by JavaScript and VBScript.
- π¨ Server-side scripts are used for website customization, database connections, and dynamic page creation; client-side scripts are used for user interactions like form-filling.
Q & A
What is scripting in the context of software development for webpages?
-Scripting refers to a set of instructions or programs for webpages that are executed without compilation, typically used for dynamic content and interactivity.
What are the two main types of scripting mentioned in the script?
-The two main types of scripting mentioned are server-side scripting and client-side scripting.
How does server-side scripting differ from client-side scripting in terms of processing location?
-Server-side scripting involves a web server for processing, whereas client-side scripting is processed by the web browser without interaction with the web server.
What is the role of the web browser in client-side scripting?
-In client-side scripting, the web browser is responsible for executing the code and displaying the results.
Why is server-side scripting considered more secure than client-side scripting?
-Server-side scripting is more secure because the execution code is not visible to the users, as opposed to client-side scripting where the code is visible.
Can client-side scripting be used to connect to a database?
-No, client-side scripting is not used for connecting to a database; this is a functionality of server-side scripting.
What is the impact of server-side scripting on the speed of web page responses?
-Server-side scripting can result in slower responses because the processing is done on a remote web server.
How fast are the responses in client-side scripting?
-Client-side scripting provides faster responses because the code execution and result production occur on the web browser itself.
What are some examples of server-side scripting languages mentioned in the script?
-Examples of server-side scripting languages include PHP, JSP, ASP, Python, and Ruby.
What are the typical applications of client-side scripting?
-Client-side scripting is typically used for form-filling, user interactivity, and reducing server load by handling some functionalities on the client side.
What is the primary purpose of server-side scripting in web development?
-Server-side scripting is primarily used for website customization, database connection, and the creation of dynamic pages.

Welcome to Knowledge 24 for software development.
Introduction to the concept of scripting: a set of instructions or programs for webpages executed without compilation.
Explanation of two types of scripting: server-side scripting and client-side scripting.
Server-side scripting involves web server processing.
Client-side scripting does not interact with the web server; it uses the web browser for processing and execution.
Server-side scripting is used for creating dynamic pages where the user's browser makes a request to the server.
Client-side scripting code resides on the web browser and is executed there.
Server-side scripting is used to connect to databases, while client-side scripting is not.
Server-side scripting execution occurs on the server, and results are displayed on the web browser.
Client-side scripting execution and results are produced on the web browser.
Server-side scripting can access web server settings, while client-side scripting can only access local settings.
Server-side scripting responses are slower because processing is done on a remote server, making it less consistent.
Client-side scripting responses are faster as the code resides and executes on the web browser.
Server-side scripting is more secure because the execution code is not visible to users.
Client-side scripting is less secure as the code is visible to users.
Server-side scripting is used for backend processes, while client-side scripting is used for frontend tasks.
Examples of server-side scripting languages: PHP, JSP, ASP, Python, Ruby, .NET.
Examples of client-side scripting languages: JavaScript and VBScript.
Applications of server-side scripting: customization of websites, database connections, dynamic page creation.
Applications of client-side scripting: user form filling, reducing server load.
Conclusion summarizing the differences between server-side and client-side scripting.
Transcripts
hello everyone welcome to the channel
knowledge 24 for software development we
need 15 languages and the script means
it's a set of instructions or programs
for webpages which is executed without
compilation we have two types of the
scripting server-side scripting and
second this client-side scripting so
many persons are very confused between
both of them so in to this lecture we
will discuss about differences between
server side scripting and client-side
scripting so the first differences
server-side scripting involves web
server for processing
but in client-side scripting it does not
interact with the web server it it was
web browser for processing and execution
then second is server-side scripting is
used for users browser makes a request
to the server means it is useful making
dynamic pages and request is sent to the
server through the web browser so this
is the request now in client-side
scripting all the codes reside on the
web browser so web browser is used for
the execution purpose now the car is
server-side scripting is used to connect
to the database but client-side
scripting is not used for the connection
with the database then Nexus server-side
scripting
execution on that server and the result
will be displayed on the web browser but
client-side scripting
execution and result both are produced
on the web browser now the Nexus server
side scripting
SATA is used for the accessing this
the late summer but thanks I did not use
for accessing the settings of web server
it's only for the existing the local
setting means users computer setting it
makes us by the client site
now the next differences server side
asleep its responses very slow because
the processing is done on the remote
computer meets on the web server by this
reason it's less consistent but inclined
sites will pick its responses very fast
because all the codings
decide on the web browser so execution
is on the web browser so it's really
fast now the next is server side is
simply is very secure because it's good
execution code is not visible to the
users means it is hide from the user
but in client side it is less secure
because the code is available or visible
to the users
next is server-side scripting is used as
a back-end but light side is used as a
friend thing now the next is server-side
scripting examples are like PHP JSP ASP
Python Ruby donate food etc and the
examples of client-side respecting of
JavaScript and VB script now
applications of server-side scripting
like customisation of website then
database
see the connection with the database
then dynamic pages creation etc and
client-side skeptics applications are
like users form-filling than anything in
the form filling so tight side aspectek
is basically used for reducing the cell
value so these are the basic differences
between server-side scripting and
client-side scripting thank you
