Description

The main goal of studying Basic Scripting Languages is to understand the operations performed by the server in a client-server relationship, build complex web applications and generate web pages dynamically. It enables the students to learn two main server side scripting technologies: PHP and Perl. These technologies support server side data processing where web applications can interface with database servers, making PHP and Perl important tools for web development in this rapidly growing field. Every year new technologies hit the market, allowing the students to learn new things in this field, which makes it as a good career for students.
