JavaScript has been adapted for server side use, but you wouldn't use it the same way as it's used client side. VBScript is the only other client side scripting language for web browsers, and it only works in Internet Explorer. The others used for the web are all server side: PHP, ASP, Perl, Ruby, Python, etc.. The only way to know what's what is probably through experience. And reading a lot.
