    ok, then all the general languages such as c, c++, java, python, html, .net, asp, php, cobol, basic etc.... and the major differences between them.........

    Major Differences between C and C++:
    -C is a procedural programming language,c++ is an object oriented programming
    language.
    -C uses the top-down approach while C++ uses the bottom-up approach.
    -C is function-driven while C++ is object-driven.
    -C++ supports function overloading while C does not.

    please explain the 2nd point- c uses the top-down approach while c++ uses the bottom- up approach....

    Broadest difference that I could find was,

    html is a formatting language not a programming language, php, asp are the server side scripting language or back end languages and rest are the normal programming languages.

    C++ follows OOP technique,i.e.,we first design base elements(classes and other small components) and then they are linked together for the final code.

    C follows procedural programming technique,i.e.,the code is formulated step by step,each step is processed into detail,we make main function,then design inner modules and then divide them into smaller modules and so on.

    ASP & ASP.NET
    - ASP is not OO but ASP.NET uses OOPS.
    - ASP (JScript & VBScript) and ASP.NET (VB.NET & C#.NET).
    - ASP needs no reqs. ASP.NET reqs .NET framework.

    ASP (both) & PHP
    - PHP is Open Source. ASP.NET is Closed Source and commercial.
    - PHP runs on any server (Apache, IIS) and any OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) but ASP runs only on Windows IIS. Ports may be there.
    - PHP is light weight and doesn't use much system resources, ASP.NET is very heavy and requires a good processing capacity.
    - PHP loads faster than ASP or ASP.NET. (Speed is a crucial factor in WebSites).

    asp i think was a procedural scripting language, which also permitted OOPS( not so sure). dot net is very strong in OOPs. php is not that strong in OOPs.

    ASP doesn't have OOPS Support! 😔

    But PHP is good in OOPs... 😀

    Yeah php is better in OOPs as compared to ASP but i think it is far behind asp.net and Java, don't you think so?

    Dude, ASP.NET is a creation for OOPs only. And Java, the father of OOPs... How can you compare them with PHP? PHP is still a kid or intermediate in OOPs...

    Intermediate is the right word as far OOPs in PHP is concerned. I was not being iconoclast when i compared it with JAVA,I was just responding to your assertion that php is good in OOPS. And JAVA is not 'father' or 'mother' of OOPs. Though it would be correct to call it one of the complete OOPs programming language

    Rightly said. But first of all, PHP is not an OOPs language, yet it supports it. The main use is for simple server side scripting...
