# What is the difference between Server-side scripting and Client-side scripting?

## Server side scripting :

means that all the script will be executed by the server and interpreted as needed. ASP doesn't have some of the functionality like sockets, uploading, etc.

## Client side scripting :

means that the script will be executed immediately in the browser such as form field validation, clock, email validation, etc. Client side scripting is usually done in VBScript or JavaScript.
