    hey, quick question here. How would I classify these scripting languages: HTML, XHTML, CSS, DHTML, XML, PHP, javascript, Actionscripts, CGI, and ASP???? Can I just label them web langauges or Web programming or Scripting languauges or just Internet Programming???

    Which classification is best???
    Web languages
    Web programming
    Scripting languages
    Internet Programming

    HTML, XML, XHTML, DHTML
    Markup languages

    PHP, CGI, and ASP
    Server-side scripting languages

    javascript, Actionscripts
    Client-side scripting languages

    and i guess
    CSS
    is a transformational language

    Eh, I'd put CSS under Web Development. Although it really isn't a language of anykind. It's a style definition - I wouldn't call it transformational, as it doesn't transform anything, it just dictates how it should look. Now, XSL on the otherhand would be transformational, since it has the capability to transform the data from one set to another.

    CSS is a declarative styling language.

    DHTML is not a language at all, but the idea of combining HTML and JavaScript to make pages that get modified without contacting the server.

    ASP isn't a language either, but a framework, like JSP and CGI. To be precise, they are specifications on how a server is to handle special requests. In ASP, it contains instructions on how to handle combinations of markup and a server-side scripting language (VBScript or JScript, usually). In JSP, it's the same, but using Java as language and allowing more declarative languages like special tags. In CGI, it's how to start external applications to handle the requests.


    All together I would classify them as web technologies.
