When you enter a URL into your browser you are directing your computer to connect to a server that is listening at the corresponding ip address, which will then send you the HTML that makes up that web page.

Your computer is a client connecting to a server.

Why transient synchronous communication has inherent scalability problem?

What is Client-Server Networking?

A server is a database--on a server. The client is: a person on a PC connected to the server via odbc querying the database. A database is only an app on the server. You can have a domain controller, a mail server, a nat server, web hosting... doesnt matter whats on it. And the client wouldn't really be person, a person is referred to as a user. A client is generally the computer. So what is client server networking? Its when you have perhaps 4 clients all using the server for something. The server kinda being like a master. But usually most clients will look to the server for their network settings (DHCP), and perhaps NAT etc..... But like the above person mentioned you can have database's on your server. But your not just limited to database's, you can have mail server's, web servers, app server etc....


What client side programming?

As far as web programming is concerned, client side programming is code that runs in the web browser, rather than the web server. JavaScript is an example of client side scripting because the code is sent to the browser, at which point it is executed. PHP is an example of server side scripting because the code is executed on the server, and the resulting code is sent to the browser and displayed.


What is a client-side parser?

In general, a parser is a tool that interprets code.We talk about server-side parsers if those tools parse the code they receive before sending a result (i.e. the web page) to the client PC, while client-side parsers process code directly on the client PC.PHP is an example language that is parsed server-side, JavaScript is an example for a client-side language.


What are client side and server side scripting?

Client side scripting is a script, (ex. Javascript, VB script), that is executed by the browser (i.e. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc.) that resides at the user computer. Server side scripting, (ex. ASP.Net, ASP, JSP, PHP, Ruby, or others), is executed by the server (Web Server), and the page that is sent to the browser is produced by the serve-side scripting. So when a server sends out a page, it executes server-side scripts, but does not execute client-side scripts. Once the browser receives the page, it executes the client-side scripts. Server side scripting can connect to databases that reside on the web server or another server reachable from web server. Client side scripting cannot do that. Server side scripting can access the file system that reside at the web server, client side cannot. Server side scripting can access settings belong to Web server while client side cannot. Client side scripting can access files and settings that are local at the user computer. Client side scripting consumes cycles from user's computer not web server one, while server side scripting consumes cycles form web server one.
