Formatted text and graphics are nice, but they just sit there. Effective user interfaces must be able to respond to user input, and that's where scripting comes in. There are many different scripting languages, but they all fall into two broad categories: scripts that run on the server, and scripts that run inside a browser. In this talk, Sheryl will describe the differences between the two—their strengths, weaknesses, and the applications for which each is best suited. Sheryl Canter started with PC Magazine as an Associate Editor in 1991, and has been a Contributing Editor to PC Magazine since 1993. She was the editor of PC Magazine's Utilities column from 1993-2002, and continues to write frequently about technology for PC Magazine and the O'Reilly Network. As a speaker, writer, and editor, her specialty is in demystifying computer technology. Sheryl is also a Web developer. You can see samples of her work at webdesign.permutations.com.
