As the most popular scripting language on the internet, Javascript allows developers to build rich, dynamic interactions.
What is it?
Javascript is an object-oriented scripting language popularized by its ability to execute in the browser. This allows websites to dynamically manipulate content within a page without reloading the page. Javascript is primarily used to make web pages and web applications more interactive. You can’t browse the web or use an application these days without encountering some form of Javascript. Javascript interacts with HTML to spice up sites, making effects faster, more powerful and user friendly than other scripting languages.
Strengths
- Being a client-side scripting language, Javascript is very fast because any code functions can be run immediately.
- Relatively simple to learn and implement
- Works well with other languages and can be inserted into any web page and used alongside other scripting languages
