Server side scripting is where the script runs on the server to generate the website and then is sent to the browser. Server side scripting languages are PHP, ColdFusion, ASP.net, Ruby and others.

Client side scripting is where the script will be sent to the browser and only there it generates part or the entire website. Client side scripting languages are JavaScript, VB Script and others.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages and in most websites you usually use a mixture of these two.
