Module 4 Artifact

This was the shortest module, wherein we were instructed to learn the basic syntax and application of Javascript. Javascript is a client-side scripting language used for adding functionality in a very similiar to PHP. The difference is PHP is primarily server-side, so the user only sees the resutls of the scripts, where as users can view the source of a page and see the Javascript.


I was most comfortable with SQL becauase, like I mentioned, I had to learn it for a junior level class. That said, learning how to use it in conjunction with PHP was definitely the hard part. PHP form entry into the database using the mysqli_connect was very interesting because I got to see firsthand how data gets stored into a database from user entry. It is something that get's taken for granted but every single time someone enters a webpage, data is stored and people might not realize just how much they put informatino into forms such as username and password.
