QUOTE (Marvolo @ 2 Nov 2011 6:18 PM) I am trying to hire a programmer to build a website for me. How should I know, or how can I determine, whether I should use a client-side or server-side scripting language? I have a hunch that it should be client-side. In either case, how then can I determine which particular [client/server side] scripting language I should use?
I greatly appreciate any help I get.
Thanks,
L
: If you need a simple website, in which only one time content is to be entered and looks of the website are more important then you should consider a front end developer, using client side scripts : Javascript, Jquery (a library), Flash (Actionscript) & other Javascript libraries.
If you need a website or rather a web application which involves interaction with the user & involves lot of data that you don't want to show in general to all users, or any software application running behind the scenes doing processing & returning data to the user, then you need a server side developer (back end developer) who should be proficient in either of the following languages / frameworks. PHP, Python (CGI, Django), Java (JSP) , C# (ASP), Ruby (RoR).
