   Good job, Stef. The video gives a clear straight forward illustration and explanation of server side vs. client side.

   Hi,

   My goal was to ’speak’ to web designers and people generally new to the concept of server-side programming.

   I remember when I first started building database driven websites (started with classic ASP in 1996) and I had a hard time wrapping my head around the concept … many programmers did, now that I think about it.

   Thanks for the comments.

   Stef

   I’m so glad you stopped to explain client-side vs server-side programming in simple terms. It makes sense (now). Thank you!

   Stephan… I couldn’t watch your server side vs. client side programing video because a box came up saying that I needed to update my Macromedia Flash Player to the latest version which I did and still could not watch the video. Mabey you can tell me what is wrong. Thanx

   @Mike

   Hi,

   If you are using MAC, don’t use Safari – it has a bug that prevents people from watching the Flash based videos.

   Please donwload the FireFox web browser and you should be OK.

   Stef,

   I had the same problem with needing the flash update. I just reformatted a laptop I bought second-hand. It’s running Windows XP Home w/ sp2 (run off an xp cd not the vendors recovery cd) and I tried it in both IE6 and FF. Both browsers can now get flash content from other sites.

   Hope this helps a lil better,
   Robert

   @Robert,

   Did you get it to work finally?

   Yes. I am not sure if the lappy just needed a reboot or what, but it seems to be fine now. I haven’t gotten to watch the video yet (at work right now), but I’m sure it is as informative and entertaining as your previous work.

   Thanks so much for everything you have done for me and all the other designers out there like me.

   Take care,
   Robert

    Stef,
    Very useful information with concise and clear everyday english.
    A great deal of information and I now understand the distinction between client side and server side programming.

    Thanks!

    PS – Are the videos only online or are they available for download for personal referencing?

    Hi,

    At this time the videos are set to run on the site.

    We are working on something now to make the video even more accessible.

    Thanks,

    Stefan

    Hi,
    Really this video was very useful to understand about the concepts. Thank you so much. Is this video can be downloadable? It will be useful if it is downloadable.
