Before we continue on this section to learn advanced concepts in JavaScript, let us know at least where
JavaScript started and where it came from.
Where JavaScript was created in 1995 by Brendan Eich while working for Netscape Communications, and
it was originally named MoCCA, but later it was renamed to live script and finally to JavaScript.
Last script was renamed to JavaScript in the same particular year, and the language has been known
by that name ever since.
And in 1996, Microsoft released Internet Explorer 3.0 with support for JavaScript.
So let's give credit to Internet Explorer.
Well, in the years that followed, numerous other browsers were released with built in JavaScript support,
and the language became increasingly popular as a way to add dynamic content to website.
And in 1997, JavaScript was standardized by Egmont International in the script language specification.
So this is the year that the language was standardized by this organization called.
So in the year 1997, that is where JavaScript became standardized by this organization called Eckman.
In the early 2000, Ajax and other web technologies were developed that use JavaScript to create dynamic,
responsive applications.
So today, JavaScript is one of the most popular programming language on the web and is used for a wide
variety of tasks, including front and back end web development, server, side scripting and even for
game development.
As a beginner, sometimes you may be confused with Java and JavaScript.
They are different programming languages all together.
Well, before we continue and let's have some clear differences between JavaScript and Java.
Well, for Java, the source code is passed through a program called a compiler, which translates it
into bytecode that machine understands and execute.
In contrast to JavaScript, Java Scripts has no compilation step.
Instead, an interpreter in the browser reads over the JavaScript code, interprets each line and runs
it.
But lucky for us, modern browsers use a technology known as Just in time.
We stand for git in contrast to JavaScript.
JavaScript has no compilation step, but instead an interpreter in the browser race over the JavaScript
code.
Interpret each line and runs it.
But lucky for us, modern browsers use a technology known as Just in Time, which compiles JavaScript
to executable bytecode just as about run.
And JavaScript is named after Java and many of its concepts are borrowed from the Java language.
However, Java and JavaScript are two entirely distinct languages.
Well, with this in mind, at least we know where JavaScript started and now where we are.
So in the next video, let's continue and talk about what is com.
So dart log in details.
