platforms and sever-sides ????????

[cazmo]

hey,
I have just joined and I am not too sure where to post thing so I appologise if this is in the wrong section.

I am doing a course on computers and I am a little stuck on two questions. I don't know much about computers and so I am hoping maybe one of you could help me out.

One of the questions asks:-
Will they be viewing your website from only one platform (Windows, Macintosh, Linux) or will there be variations?

Nnow I am not asking for someone to do my homework here..I am just curious as to what exactly are platforms and how would I know what platform my viewer is viewing my website from??

the second I think i got it but knowing me its probably all wrong :-
What is the name of the server-side programming language from Macromedia

Is it ColdFusion Markup Language wich supports server-side Actionscript???

Thanks for all the help and once again I am not asking for you to do the questions but more of an explanation to help me understand it more
