client- & server-side web apps

[BobLewiston]

Please excuse what may be a very stupid question from a onetime programmer who is very seriously considering trying to break back into the industry:

In today's web-based technologies, client-side apps run in browsers and are typically written in Java, Perl, Javascript, etc., and server-side apps run on website servers and are typically written in .NET languages such as C#, right?

Yes, you have the basic idea. Most web applications will have a mix of the 2 though. You'll have your server side processing, but you'll also have stuff coded client side such as UI effects and such.

PHP is also a server side language.
