Expert summary

JavaScript is a scripting language usually used for client-side web development. It was the originating dialect of the ECMAScript standard. JavaScript is a dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based language with first-class functions. Although many other languages influenced it and though designed to look like Java, JavaScript is far easier for non-programmers to work with. The main use of the script is found in websites, but it is also used widely to enable scripting access to objects embedded in other applications. Although the names suggest similarity, Java and JavaScript are not related at all. Yet, both have the common C syntax. JavaScript also copies many Java names and naming conventions. JavaScript was originally called œLiveScript.�
