Computer Programming for Beginners | Client VS Server Side Languages | Ep20

When understanding computer languages we need to understand where they're compiled to find out if a programming language is server side or client-side. ☕ Support Me With A Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/P5P34J14C​

For example if you download a webpage that consists of HTML, CSS and Javascript those files are downloaded to the clients web browser or your computer. Then once the files have been downloaded they're compiled on the client side or your computer.

Server side languages are compiled on the server. A server is just a computer and can compile and run programs just like your computer can. So for example I have a PHP file which PHP is a server side programming language and I connect to the database with a username and password. I need to make sure the username and password to my database stay secure otherwise anyone can connect to my database. So this syntax or script is compiled on the server, run on the server and only provides the output or the data I fetched from the database. This data is then given back to the user. At no point did the user, or client side, receive any syntax or script they only received the output. Protecting the username and password of my database.
