Javascript
JavaScript is a popular programming language used to make websites interactive and dynamic. It works together with HTML and CSS to create web pages. HTML creates the structure, CSS adds the design, and JavaScript adds actions and interaction.
History of JavaScript
JavaScript was created by Brendan Eich at Netscape Communications in May 1995. He created the first version in just 10 days. The main purpose was to make web pages more interactive.
At first, it was called Mocha. Later, it was renamed LiveScript. Finally, it was released as JavaScript in December 1995. JavaScript and Java are two different programming languages.
What Can JavaScript Do?
JavaScript can make a webpage respond to user actions. It can create buttons, pop-up messages, animations, image sliders, and form validation. It can also change text, images, or other content on a webpage.
For example, when a user clicks a button and a message appears, JavaScript can be used to perform that action. It can also check whether the information entered in a form is correct.
JavaScript and Browsers
Web browsers have JavaScript engines that run JavaScript code. For example, Chrome uses V8 and Firefox uses SpiderMonkey.
Today, JavaScript is used for websites, web applications, backend development, mobile apps, and desktop applications.
In simple words, HTML creates the structure, CSS makes it look good, and JavaScript makes the webpage interactive.
