Question

What is meant by framework, programming language and scripting language?

Answer 1

Frameworks are libraries or templates of pre-written stuff you can re-use. They often come with a pre-imposed structure and philosophy of how to approach a domain of problems.

Programming language is a superset of scripting language and includes anything you yourself write that makes a computer do something.

Scripting languages are traditionally interpreted meaning they are useful for smaller more light-weight purposes, but that definition is getting vaguer since JavaScript - a 'scripting language', for example, is not interpreted so much these days.
