JavaScript is a “client-side” scripting language that is primarily used to create and add all kinds of dynamic interactions to web pages. With its rapid evolution in the tech world, JavaScript has become the cornerstone of modern web development.
It works nicely with traditional software design languages and includes unique features that make it distinct from them. Where CSS and HTML are languages that add style and structure to web pages, JavaScript provides web pages with interactive elements that enhance user experiences.
So, anything that changes, or pops up on your device without web page reloads during a browsing session? Yep, that’s JavaScript.
Today, JavaScript is so impressive that it is used by modern web browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge etc. Popular mobile devices such as Android and iPhone are also able to run JavaScript-based browsers and applications natively.
Understanding the way JavaScript works is a little easier when you know its prominence, so let’s learn more.
