saito200 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Hi! I am a *very* green amateur on web programming so maybe the question is kind of heretical.So is it possible (or reasonable) to use python instead of java for programming a web page?(Why not?) Thanks Edited June 3, 2012 by saito200 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 While Java is an option, it's not the most popular one. You can use any language on the server-side as long as the server is set up for it. There is no recommended language for the server side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 There is a difference between "Java" and "JavaScript".JavaScript is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to client side scripting. If you want something to happen when the mouse is moved, when a key is pressed, when the window is resized, when a form field is filled (without the press of a submit button that is), JavaScript is pretty much the only way to do that.When it comes to server scripting - the thing that happens between the click of a link or form submission (or refresh of a page; basically, anything that leaves your browser screen blank for a moment) and the display of the new page - you can use Java, Python, PHP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Ruby or whatever else your server is configured for.
