Scripts and Scripting language


Script and Scripting Language
What is a Script?

A script is a program or sequence of instructions that is interpreted or carried out by another program rather than by the computer processor. Scripting is making another program to run according to the instructions provided on the script.
Some good examples for scripting languages are JavaScript, PHP, Python, VBScript.

Programming language vs Scripting language

Scripting languages are used to create such scripts. Scripting languages do not require the compilation step and are rather interpreted. This helps to distinguish a scripting language from a programming language (which is not a scripting language).

eg:java program needs to be compiled before running where as scripting languages like java script and PHP need not be compiled (they are interpreted)

Java script

Java script is a scripting language. It is used to script web pages on the client side. Hence this is also considered as a client side language.  It is used to create dynamically updating content, control multimedia, animate images, and pretty much everything else. Java Script is an open scripting language that can be used to client – side processing and can be inserted into the HTML page

Development of smart incubator (2nd year ITP project ) The final product of this project consists of an automated hardware unit of an egg incubator and a working IOT application program. Hard ware unit was automated and programmed C ++ and the IOT part was developed using PHP programming. Ardiuno   AtMega 2560  microcontroller and two NodeMCU development boards with ESP8266 microcontrollers which can  connect to internet via a wifi hotspot. mega board was used to automate and manage the hardware unit. Smart incubator The hard ware unit of the incubator consist of sensors , a camera, a light and also an egg tray (which is programmed to rotate slowly).it also consisted of units to control the moisture and temperature. this incubator has the capacity to incubate 48 eggs at a time. All the conditions necessary to incubate the eggs are provide and constantly monitored for changes with the sensors and the camera used. This product was designed in such a way so that a specia
