No. I think you're generating the confusion. What makes jaws scripting different from python? (besides the fact that python doesn't have scripting or script appended to the name). Are you aware that lua, python, ruby... can be imbedded in applications like jaws script is to make it make the application customizable? In fact, many games use lua for their scripting language. wow is a great example of this.

you generate a little confusion here:In fact all are programming languages, but one of them php, python, are interpreted programming languages and other java, c, are compiled programming languages, or mixt programming language (like java).Scripting languages are languages which help at the customisation and automation of other applications, like jaws scripting language. But in the real world there is used "scripting language" incorectly for an interpreted programming language.To distinguish between those languages:An interpreted language is one where the source code sufers no transformation and at runtime it is readed line by line by an interpretor and executed. A compiled programming language is one where the source code is transformed in object code and after linking it is transformed in a machine native language. This are the language that from a file they get another file which is the program. For example in C language, from .c file, you compile it and get an .exe file under windows.Mixt programming languages, like java and dotnet languages,Are compiled in an intermediary language, native language for a virtual machine and at runtime the virtual machine interprets the intermediary language and transform it on the fly in machine native language for the computer on which it runs. This is the theory, so don't waste time to understand why and when one are scripting and other not. Because is a false positive case and you don't loose anything if you don't know about that.----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Midence" <alex.midence@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 12:24 AM Subject: Re: Good resource for beginning programmersI am not at a stage in my learning where I can do well at explaining this so, I have provided some links for you to explore: Scripting language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language Programming language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language Be warned: This will create more questions for you.

Javascript is client side scripting. Websites run scripts on the visitor's machine to dynamically change themselves according to stimuli. Php is a scripting language that does dynamic webpage changing among other things from the server side. It is used in conjunction with database solutions like my sql and the like. Java and C are both programming languages. Java is a high level object-oriented language that runs on a virtual machine. It is used to create applets and web apps for all sorts of functions. Java is also used to create desktop applicaitons like, for instance, Eclipse, Open Office, and things of that nature. C is a low-level procedural programming language that is used for desktop aplications and low-level programming such as drivers, utilities and the like. Certain platforms are also written in C like, for instance, Windoes is in C. I believe Gnome was also written in C. I went into this detail because your post indicated that you thought these were all web development languages and they are not. Python is a scripting language that can do a lot of the same things programming languages can do and has a reputation for being easy to learn and fostering rapid development. An applications that php could not create, IMHO is a screen reader. Python was used to create two of them.

I decided I would focus on 1. PHP, 2. JavaScript, 3. Java, 4. C I figured these are being used the most in web development and customapplications. So, where does Python come in? How would you compare Pythonwith Java, PHP, and C??Can anybody give me an example of what cannot be developed in PHP whichcanbe developed in Python?Or how about Java vs Python if PHP is to lowly? I have just heard PHP haslimitations. H.R.
