   1. ADVANTAGES
      1. EFFICEINTCY
         1. Complex code can be ran faster, as it does not have to be downloaded onto the user's computer
      2. BROWSER INDEPENDANT
         1. This means the code can be run on any browser
      3. SPEED
         1. Performance is only affected by the speed of the web server and the download speed of your computer
   2. DISADVANTAGES
      1. SECURITY
         1. The exchange of data over the network may present security risks
      2. OVERLOADING

1. This is used to create interactivity on webpages, with the script being downloaded with the webpage
   1. ADVANTAGES
      1. SPEED
         1. The interaction is faster once the code has been downloaded
      2. SECURITY
         1. It is more secure than server side because everything happens on the downloaded page, rather than coming from the web browser, which could cause security problems or corruption
   2. DISADVANTAGES

      2. COMPUTER SPEED
         1. Because the web page is downloaded onto your computer, any interactions are affected by your computer speed
