VBScript summary
The lessons in this section have taught you about VBScript - an interactive and dynamic scripting language used on webpages.
The lessons included information on what VBScript is, how to use variables, how to use functions, how to work with strings, and more.
VBScript is a scripting language used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser and browsers based on Internet Explorer's engine such as Flashpeak's SlimBrowser.
VBScript is short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition. VBScript is a lighter version of the Visual Basic programming language, and like Visual Basic, VBScript was developed by Microsoft.
What's next?
The next step is to learn PHP.
At this time, you should already know HTML and/or XHTML, as well as CSS, Javascript, and VBScript. Learning web development follows a logical progression - first you should learn how to build webpages (HTML/XHTML), then you should learn how to specify the appearance, layout, and overall design of webpages (CSS) then you can move on to building dynamic and interactive content for webpages (Javascript), then you should learn another language used for building dynamic and interactive content for webpages(VBScript), then you should move on to a more powerful and complex dynamic server side language (PHP).
Learning PHP will help you become familiar with implementing dynamic and interactive content on webpages with a server-side language.
PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor (it is a recursive acronym). PHP is a language used to develop interactive and dynamic web content on the web and it is often used together with the Apache web server. It can also be used with Microsoft's IIS web server. PHP can be used to interact with users, read and write cookies, communicate with databases, and more.
