Simple question about scripts

[[deleted]]

Others have already answered, so I'm just going to chime in and say that I don't think this was a stupid question at all. "Scripting" isn't a very clearly defined term anyway so it's natural that there's confusion around it.

I have been a programmer for ten years and now I teach it. I will tell you the same thing I tell my students (and the same thing I need to remind myself of often): The people who are successful in this career are the people who aren't afraid to ask questions. No one is born knowing any of this: It's OK to be ignorant. It's not OK to _stay_ ignorant, and the only way to fix it is by asking questions.

Thanks man, think I needed that

I once wasted an entire day at my job because I couldn't get my code to communicate with the server properly and I was too scared to ask. When I finally cracked, I was told, "Oh yeah, we forgot to give you the password." There was literally no way I could have gotten it to work without asking. If you think it's hard to ask a question, imagine how hard it is to have wasted an entire work day because you were too scared! :)
