Let's talk about history of JavaScript.
This is not a required thing that we need to know, but as a JavaScript developer, at least we should
give credit to the creator of the language by knowing some few points.
And I have summarized them as these.
First of all, the creator of JavaScript is called Brendan Eich and he created it in the year 1995.
At the time he was working at Netscape.
So the creator of JavaScript is Brendan Eich.
And also originally it was named to Mocha and later to live script and finally to JavaScript due to
marketing decisions, but not to a technical relation to Java.
This means that Java and JavaScript are two different programming languages, but when I chose JavaScript
due to marketing strategies or decisions and also JavaScript was designed to bring websites to life
with interactivity as we have spoke about.
And JavaScript is the core scripting language in web development.
When we say scripting language, what does it mean?
It simply means that it's a type of programming language that is used to automate tasks that will otherwise
need to be executed step by step manually.
Then ECMA International standardized JavaScript in 1997 leading to the Ecmascript standard.
When we say What does it mean?
It stands for European Computer Manufacturers Association, and originally it was an industry association
founded in 1961 and dedicated for standardizing information and communication system.
And Icma International is best for its work in defining standards, which are technical report and specifications
for various technologies.
In this case, JavaScript and after JavaScript has been standardized, then the major update that was
released in 1999 and S5 and S6 in 29 and 2015 respectively.
So these are the brief history about JavaScript.
Let's continue in the next video.
