JavaScript is one of the most popularly discussed languages over the internet. You must be thinking, what it is, what it does & how it helps us? Let's figure it out ...
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a high-level scripting language commonly used as client-side scripting language. It is dynamic and weakly written. It enables client-side scripts to interact with the user and enhance their experience.
JavaScript is responsible for converting any static webpage doing no work, into a dynamic webpage which interacts with the user.
For Example - Some webpages that do not need to reload to show you results also those forms which immediately tells you that special characters are not allowed also those floating widgets that keep on updating. (Some great examples are at "Programmics.in").
JavaScript was developed by the same people who developed the Netscape Browser at Netscape Communication in 1995. They realized the need to build a connection between the user and the webpage.
Mr. Brendan Eich was selected to work over this project. Java was a trending language so they decided to keep it syntax similar to Java.
The first version was named "Mocha" in May 1995 which was later renamed to "Live Script" in September 1995 and then renamed to "JavaScript" in December 1995.
