Talk:Server-side scripting

ASP is not a scripting language, it is a framework. ASP can be used with VBScript, JScript or even Python. guaka 20:41 5 Jul 2003 (UTC)
a bit inaccurate
I feel that more appropriate title for this would be 'web programming' as the article outlines technologies usually associated with building web applications using the process of web programming. Although server-side scripting IS web programming, it is more common to refer to this as web programming. Also, some of the technologies mentioned are just server-side, not scripting languages (CGI for example, ASP.NET is also compiled).
So I suggest one of the following:
a) whole thing moves to a new 'web programming' page.
b) the article gets trimmed to just a specifics of server-side scripting.
- I would suggest the latter, if only for the sake of keeping this title as a parallel to client-side scripting.
- As for the question of using the word "scripting", it's my experience that even when languages not considered "scripting languages" are used in this context, it's still referred to as "server-side scripting" because the program is still a "script" in the sense of being a program that responds to a certain event. We should probably be clear about this in the article, though. —Triskaideka 14:45, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
