What are the diffenrences in terms of applications between VB,VBScript,VB.Net, and visual basics?

i know c and i want to build web based applications like collecting feedback from friends in the college network...i have seen asp.net but i noticed vbscript code in it...and please mention the applications of above languages in my question

What are the diffenrences in terms of applications between VB,VBScript,VB.Net, and visual basics?
VB : for desktop applications, which can run as exe on single system.


VBScript : its a client side scripting language runs in browser used to validate simple client inputs.


VB.Net : most syntax is of VB but it is extended to generate HTML output which by HTTP over a web server can be displayed on clients browser.


Visual Basics is VB only.......





before doing this, u need to be clear about what is client and server architecture, difference between server side scripting , client side scripting and desktop application,


well Hit Google,, it really helps :)
Reply:VBScript as well as javascript (nothing to do Java) are client side scripting languages.





VB.NET and C#.NET are server side scripting languages.





both are usually used in creating dynamic websites. how id u notice *vbscript code inside*. vbscript was used in classic ASP, but not in .NET. Javascript is used predominately in .NET for client side scripting. what u were probably seeing is the actual VB code for the server side.





Visual Basic; not a website building tool per se, we used to use it to write DLL components to interface between the website and the database (middle tier)





so really ur looking at VB.NET or C#.NET (if ur know c, then i wold go with C#) - its more object oriented than VB, and the flavour flows easier. In .NET u create the web interface, Interface classes, datalayer classes. all with the same language u want to use.
