Plz what are Scripting Language and development language. What Languages are scripting and development languages

Scripting is a form of computer program. But unlike traditional programming language, that manipulate the processes of the computer, scripting tends to involve a far smaller set of simple instructions. Many of these instructions will be related to accomplishing a specific purpose, such as controlling the process of connecting your computer to another computer via a modem.
Example php, asp, ruby and jsp etc,

As mentioned above most languages may require some foundation in a root language or snytax familiarity like jsp will require strong java knowledge which is in turn a development language.

in a nutshell, scripting languages are interpreted languages. The alternative would be compiled languages, which is what most "development (I am still a little iffy on what you mean by that ))" languages fall under.

If I understand what you mean by "development language", then I would say, technically, any language you use for development, be it html, javascript, java, jsp, php, asp,etc, qualifies as such. However, based on your question above, I would perhaps, if I may, rephrase it as, "What is the difference b/w front-end and back-end languages", but of course I could be wrong as I am not you

I hope this helps.
