JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language used for creating interactive effects within web browsers. It was originally developed by Netscape in 1995 to add dynamic and interactive elements to web pages. JavaScript is one of the three core technologies that underlie the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS. It allows for interactive web pages and is essential to powering modern web applications. JavaScript is supported by all major web browsers through dedicated JavaScript engines.

Javascript

Introduction
JavaScript, often abbreviated as JS, is a high-level, interpreted programming language that
conforms to the ECMAScript specification. It is a language that is also characterized as
dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based and multi-paradigm. Alongside HTML and CSS,
JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of the World Wide Web. JavaScript enables
interactive web pages and thus is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of
websites use it, and all major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it.
History
In 1993, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), a unit of the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, released NCSA Mosaic, the first popular
graphical Web browser, which played an important part in expanding the growth of the
World Wide Web. In 1994, a company called Mosaic Communications was founded in
Mountain View, California and employed many of the original NCSA Mosaic authors to
create Mosaic Netscape. However, it intentionally shared no code with NCSA Mosaic. The
internal codename for the company's browser was Mozilla. The first version of the Web
browser, Mosaic Netscape 0.9, was released in late 1994. Within four months it had already
taken three-quarters of the browser market and became the main web browser for the 1990s.
The browser was renamed Netscape Navigator in the same year, and the company took the
name Netscape Communications. Netscape Communications realized that the Web needed to
become more dynamic. In 1995, Netscape Communications collaborated with Sun
Microsystems to include in Netscape Navigator Sun's more static programming language
Java, in order to compete with Microsoft for user adoption of Web technologies and
platforms. Netscape Communications then decided that the scripting language they wanted to
create would complement Java and should have a similar syntax. To defend the idea of
JavaScript against competing proposals, the company developed a prototype named Mocha.
Later it was renamed JavaScript when it was deployed in the Netscape Navigator 2.0 beta 3
in December. The final choice of name caused confusion, giving the impression that the
language was a spin-off of the Java programming language, and the choice has been
characterized as a marketing ploy by Netscape to give JavaScript the cachet of what was then
the hot new Web programming language.
