1.2. Scripting

It is important to lay down general basics about scripting. Generally speaking scripting is a powerful tool for developers and IT professionals, enabling them to automate tasks, enhance functionality, and create dynamic applications.

Definition: Scripting refers to writing a series of commands that are executed by a certain runtime environment. These commands are typically used to automate tasks that would otherwise be performed manually. Here are some key points about scripting:

  • Interpreted Language: Scripting languages are usually interpreted rather than compiled. This means the code is executed line-by-line by an interpreter.
  • Automation: Scripts are often used to automate repetitive tasks, such as file manipulation, data processing, and system administration.
  • Integration: Scripting languages can integrate with other software applications to extend their functionality.

The benefits of scripting:

  • Ease of Use: Scripting languages are generally easier to learn and use compared to compiled languages.
  • Flexibility: They allow for quick changes and iterations.
  • Efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks, saving time and reducing errors.
