JavaScript

JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language. It is a language which is also characterized as dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based and multi-paradigm.

Despite the name, JavaScript is only loosely related to the Java programming language, and it has no connection to the Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A).

JavaScript was invented by Brendan Eich in 1995, while working for Netscape Communications. The initial name of the language was Mocha, later LiveScript, and finally JavaScript.

Netscape submitted JavaScript to Ecma International (then known as European Computer Manufacturers Association), for standardization in June 1997.

The first edition of the EcmaScript standard was published in June 1997.

JavaScript is used in millions of Web pages to improve the design, validate forms, detect browsers, create cookies, and much more.

JavaScript is easy to learn for beginners, and there are many resources available to help you get started. You can find tutorials and articles on the internet, or take a course at a local college or university. Once you've learned the basics of JavaScript, you can start creating your own web page features, or even create your own web applications.
