Definition of scripting
What's scripting? How is it different from programming? The best definition I found is Ward Cunningham's:
BTW, if you don't know Ward, he's the "Wiki father", and one of the greatest authorities on Design Patterns.
What's scripting? How is it different from programming? The best definition I found is Ward Cunningham's:
I'm interested in scripting as a style of programming instead of a style of languages. You're writing the program to serve YOUR needs, not somebody else's needs so there's a different set of trade offs. We get caught up in serving the needs of our customers that we forget to meet our own needs.(emphasis mine).
