What are the main features of JavaScript?

Like many other programming languages , JavaScript is basically a language to write instructions that Computers can understand and interpret .

Those instructions are called a script and they are used to create games , calendars , cookies or controlling websites behavior , like looping an image or a banner , or writing all kinds of forms , like E-mail verification and inputs , E-commerce baskets , direct chatting with sites visitors , counting the rates of visitors , to all thoughts that you can imagine or create .

JavaScript scripts are typically and heavily associated with the HTML and its derivations like XHTML , and CSS . That’s because HTML is simply a mark up language , although you can find that in every newer versions , some changes that can replace some JavaScript functions . While CSS complete the trio if i may say , in overriding the standard behavior of Browsers .

JavaScript is basically a programming language for client side . For Server side , you need other languages like PHP .

As a conclusion , if you want to create (without any external help) a website , you’ll have to learn HTML , CSS , JavaScript and PHP .

JavaScript is an easy language to learn and factually , its main strength comes from the huge libraries associated with it , but not integrated , meaning they can expand JavaScript functionality , but you may not use them .
