Methods of designing websites

It’s a method of designing websites for the process or the user request is run on the originating server which the Server side scripts provide an interface to the user and used to limit access to proprietary data and help keep control of the script source code Server side Scripting is used to create webpages (interfaces) which has the ability to complete the requests of the users and also respond to each user correctly. There are many popular server-side scripting languages found today. They are:•

• ASP(ASP.NET)
• Java(JavaScript)
• PHP

• ASP (ASP.NET)
Active Server Pages (ASP) is the first server-side script engine produced by Microsoft. ASP was programmed to send server-side scripting to the client’s browser, which will then be converted into a user-friendly and understandable format. With the help of ASP, Dynamic web pages can be created.

ASP.NET is a server-side scripting language by Microsoft which is open-source and used for web development. ASP.NET is a language that can be used to create dynamic web pages, web services and web applications.

• Java (JavaScript) Java Server Pages is a server-side scripting language which was introduced for software developers to build web pages using HTML and XML.

• JavaScript is a server-side scripting language which is object-oriented, dynamic and high leveled. Using Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is used to create webpages, by using JavaScript with bootstrap, you can put images slideshows, animations to the webpages.

• PHP PHP uses a mix of interpretation and compilation to provide the best combination of performance and flexibility for developers.

One great benefit of having interpreted code is that all of the memory used by the script is managed by PHP and automatically clear the language after each script is completed. This means that you do not have to worry about closing database links, releasing allocated memory to the images and so on because PHP will do it for you. This does not mean you should be lazy and make PHP do all the work – the good programmer will be clean and leave PHP functions as a backup in case something is lost.
Web Servers

Web Servers are servers which has the ability to process the commands which were requested from the server using Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. Web servers have the ability to store, do processes and send web pages to the client’s PC. There are many types of web servers, the most popular server is called Apache HTTP Server, Apache HTTP Server Apache HTTP Server is the most popular web server nowadays, Apache is a free and open-source software, and Apache is the most used web server in nowadays web sites.
