This is my first question on Stack Overflow and I know it won't be my last. I am wonder what do server-side languages actualy do? Do they generate a html file based on whatever your code says?

Server side languages compile to generate an HTML page that is sent to the client (to the browser) over HTTP or HTTPS. For example, in ASP, each HTML page has a "Code Behind" attribute which represents server side language (such as C#), which, when running, alternates the HTML page and sends it rendered and finalized to the client. You can read much more here.

Server side languages are useful when you want to display a dynamic web pages where content changes with data saved in your database for example. One of the example is PHP.
