| What is Javascript? |
JavaScript is a dynamic, weakly typed programming language which is compiled at runtime.

Javascript can be executed as part of a webpage in a browser or directly on any machine (“host environment”). JavaScript was created to make webpages more dynamic (e.g. change content on a page directly from inside the browser).
Javascript is used in millions of Web pages to improve the design, validate forms, and much more.
Javascript was developed by Brendan Eich in 1995.
He was an employee at Netscape Communications Corporation at that time and it is the most popular scripting language on the internet.
Originally, it was called LiveScript but due to the popularity of Java, it was renamed to JavaScript. JavaScript is totally independent from Java and has nothing in common with Java!
