==== Server-side languages ====
[[Programming language]]s aimed at server execution, as opposed to client browser execution, are known as [[Server-side scripting|server-side languages]]. These programming languages are used in web development to perform operations including [[data processing]], database interaction, and the creation of [[Dynamic web page|dynamic content]] that is delivered to the client's browser. A key element of server-side programming is [[server-side scripting]], which allows the server to react to client requests in real time.

Some popular server-side languages are:

# '''PHP:''' [[PHP]] is a widely used, [[Open-source software|open-source]] server-side scripting language. It is embedded in HTML code and is particularly well-suited for web development.
# '''Python:''' [[Python (programming language)|Python]] is a versatile, high-level programming language used for a variety of purposes, including server-side web development. Frameworks like [[Django (web framework)|Django]] and [[Flask (web framework)|Flask]] make it easy to build web applications in Python.
# '''Ruby:''' [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]] is an object-oriented programming language, and it is commonly used for web development. [[Ruby on Rails]] is a popular web framework that simplifies the process of building web applications.
# '''Java:''' [[Java (programming language)|Java]] is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. Java-based frameworks like [[Spring Framework|Spring]] are commonly used for building enterprise-level web applications.
# '''Node.js (JavaScript):''' While JavaScript is traditionally a client-side language, [[Node.js]] enables developers to run JavaScript on the server side. It is known for its event-driven, non-blocking [[I/O model]], making it suitable for building scalable and high-performance applications.
# '''C# (C Sharp):''' [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] is a programming language developed by Microsoft and is commonly used in conjunction with the [[.NET Framework|.NET]] framework for building web applications on the Microsoft stack.
# '''ASP.NET:''' [[ASP.NET]] is a web framework developed by Microsoft, and it supports languages like C# and [[Visual Basic (.NET)|VB.NET]]. It simplifies the process of building dynamic web applications.
# '''Go (Golang):''' [[Go (programming language)|Go]] is a statically typed language developed by Google. It is known for its simplicity and efficiency and is increasingly being used for building scalable and high-performance web applications.
# '''Perl:''' [[Perl]] is a versatile scripting language often used for web development. It is known for its powerful [[Text processing|text-processing]] capabilities.
# '''Swift:''' Developed by Apple, [[Swift (programming language)|Swift]] is used for server-side development in addition to iOS and macOS app development.
# '''Lua:''' [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] is used for some embedded web servers, e.g. the configuration pages on a [[router (computing)|router]], including [[OpenWRT]].
