Programming Language - JavaScript


JavaScript

JavaScript (originally called LiveScript) is a scripting language created by Netscape. Microsoft created their own version named JScript (which is now almost gone). JavaScript is also known as ECMA script.

JavaScript can be embedded into the HTML of a web page to add client-side (browser) functionality. JavaScript should not be confused with the Java programming language. It is often thought that JavaScript is a very simple language to learn, but this is common misconception because JavaScript can be both simple and complex.

In the last few years JavaScript has made a huge comeback due to browser compatibilies being more supportive and the buzz of AJAX technology.

ECMA are currently working on a new advance version of JavaScript.
