That is they contain the features that I require in that piece of program and, likewise do not include the features that I do not require.</p> <p>Also, by writing the programs myself, I am learning. I am learning more from writing programs that are to be used in the real world by real users, than by reading books.</p> <p>All of the web developing skills, such as HTML, PHP, and JavaScript, I have learnt by reading books, but I have only honed my skill, and really learnt the language by writing my own programs.</p> <hr width="80%" /> <p>Throughout this page and site I use the words <b>script</b> and <b>program</b> inter-changable.</p> <p>The programs that I write may use a scripting language, such as PHP, or JavaScript, which would make them scripts. But, this applies to PHP more than JavaScript, the scripts that I write include many pages and functions, and I see them as programs more than I see them as scripts</p> <p>So, any <b>scripts</b> that I write using PHP, I will call <b>programs</b> <br />And any <b>scripts</b> that I write using JavaScript, I will call <b>scripts</b></p> </text> </body> <foot> <text> <link rel="ext" url="http://www.roganty.co.uk/" target="_blank">Anthony Rogers</link> </text> </foot> </doc>
