HTML5, CSS3 & JS | Server-Side & Client-Side Scripting Languages | Part-5
Beside having server-side languages, we also have client-side languages that were specifically designed to work on the browser. Whenever a browser sends and retrieves a page from the server, it also downloads the corresponding HTML layout and the CSS stylings for temporary caching. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is merely based on the principle of creating a layout for the web pages and CSS is a declarative language used to format the HTML elements to create attractive pages. Beside using these two non-programming languages, there is another client-side programming language that used to achieve desktop-like interactivity on the web. It's known as JavaScript. We will look at a small example of what desktop-like interactivity refers to.
