If you enjoy Javascript, serverside Javascript [I do it on the ASP platform] is a good choice. Do not use Javascript or any other script clientside for security critical applications. -- Evertjan.

I have basic knowledge of JavaScript (client-side) - would be grateful if you could suggest where I could learn server-side JavaScript meant for beginners (can't find any for some reason). Does server-side JavaScript require a special software to be installed on the server and if so, do most web servers have it ?

Start with MSDN...

I've heard classic ASP is slowly phasing out, but I've also heard that server-side JavaScript is slowly making an appearance, hence my question as to whether if there's another way of doing server-side JavaScript. Please bear with my general ignorance in this area as I've little experience in web programming. Thanks.

I've > heard classic ASP is slowly phasing out, but I've also heard that Well, it's been slowly phasing out for almost a decade. I'm sure you'll be able to find a host for years to come. > server-side JavaScript is slowly making an appearance, hence my > question as to whether if there's another way of doing server-side > JavaScript. I'm sure you can do it with .NET, but that is definitely on the way out as it's been a nearly unqualified disaster. In short, MS tried to abstract something they never really understood (the Web). Sounds familiar. :) > Please bear with my general ignorance in this area as I've > little experience in web programming. Thanks. Ignorance is hardly a crime. Beat the hell out of foolhardiness. ;) |
