Hello, world!
I've run into a billion questions here on the forum in which the poster didn't understand the distinction between PHP and Javascript, and how they work differently. We've all been there. Is there a good article explaining it well that I could direct them to? I googled, but didn't find anything.
Good Article Explaining Client/Server Languages?

Re: Good Article Explaining Client/Server Languages?
There's no 'client/server side languages'. Javascript can run on server, PHP can act as a HTTP client.
I'd say new developers need to understand HTTP. RFC2616 is a good read for that, assuming you have some knowledge of the underlying protocols.

Of course, but I'd just like to keep it at a higher level of abstraction. They have to understand progressively, or at least that was my experience.Weirdan wrote:There's no 'client/server side languages'. Javascript can run on server, PHP can act as a HTTP client.
Might be a bit much of a read, but they do need to learn it at some point.Weirdan wrote:I'd say new developers need to understand HTTP. RFC2616 is a good read for that, assuming you have some knowledge of the underlying protocols.

I say any programmer who doesn't like to read should learn to like it or find something to do besides programming.
