JavaScript: The Beginning

Javascript In 1995, a programmer named Brendan Eich was working at Netscape. At that time, websites were mostly static — they could display information, but they couldn’t really interact with users. Netscape wanted to make web pages more dynamic and engaging. So Brendan Eich was given a task: create a scripting language that would run inside the browser.Incredibly, he built the first version of JavaScript in just 10 days. What Is JavaScript? JavaScript is a programming language used to make websites interactive and dynamic.It controls what happens on a webpage. For example, JavaScript makes it possible to: - Respond when a user clicks a button - Check if a form is filled out correctly (form validation) - Show animations and sliders - Update content on the page without refreshing it Without JavaScript, websites would feel static and unresponsive.
