IfJavais,infact,yetanothercomputerprogramminglanguage,youmayquestionwhyitissoimportantandwhyitisbeingpromotedasarevolutionarystepincomputerprogramming、Theanswerisn’timmediatelyobviousifyou’recomingfromatraditionalprogrammingperspective、AlthoughJavaisveryusefulforsolvingtraditionalstand-aloneprogrammingproblems,itisalsoimportantbecauseitwillsolveprogrammingproblemsontheWorldWideWeb、

1.Client-sideprogramming

TheWeb’sinitialserver-browserdesignprovidedforinteractivecontent,buttheinteractivitywascompletelyprovidedbytheserver、Theserverproducedstaticpagesfortheclientbrowser,whichwouldsimplyinterpretanddisplaythem、BasicHTMLcontainssimplemechanismsfordatagathering:

text-entryboxes,checkboxes,radioboxes,listsanddrop-downlists,aswellasabuttonthatcanonlybeprogrammedtoresetthedataontheformor“submit”thedataontheformbacktotheserver、ThissubmissionpassesthroughtheCommonGatewayInterface（CGI）providedonallWebservers、ThetextwithinthesubmissiontellsCGIwhattodowithit、Themostcommonactionistorunaprogramlocatedontheserverinadirectorythat’stypicallycalled“cgi-bin、”（IfyouwatchtheaddresswindowatthetopofyourbrowserwhenyoupushabuttononaWebpage,youcansometimessee“cgi-bin”withinallthegobbledygookthere、）Theseprogramscanbewritteninmostlanguages、Perlisacommonchoicebecauseitisdesignedfortextmanipulationandisinterpreted,soitcanbeinstalledonanyserverregardlessofprocessororoperatingsystem、

ManypowerfulWebsitestodayarebuiltstrictlyonCGI,andyoucaninfactdonearlyanythingwithit、However,WebsitesbuiltonCGIprogramscanrapidlybecomeoverlycomplicatedtomaintain,andthereisalsotheproblemofresponsetime、TheresponseofaCGIprogramdependsonhowmuchdatamustbesent,aswellastheloadonboththeserverandtheInternet、（Ontopofthis,startingaCGIprogramtendstobeslow、）TheinitialdesignersoftheWebdidnotforeseehowrapidlythisbandwidthwouldbeexhaustedforthekindsofapplicationspeopledeveloped、Forexample,anysortofdynamicgraphingisnearlyimpossibletoperformwithconsistencybecauseaGIFbecreatedandmovedfromtheservertotheclientforeachversionofthegraph、Andyou’venodoubthaddirectexperiencewithsomethingassimpleasvalidatingthedataonaninputform、Youpressthesubmitbuttononapage;

3、Scriptinglanguages

ThemostcommonlydiscussedbrowserscriptinglanguagesareJavaScript（whichhasnothingtodowithJava;
