JavaScript

JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language that is used to create dynamic and interactive web pages. It was created by Brendan Eich in 1995 while he was working at Netscape Communications Corporation.

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language, which means that it is executed on the client-side (i.e., the user's web browser) rather than on the server-side. It is primarily used to create dynamic web pages that respond to user interactions, such as form validation, dropdown menus, animations, and more.

JavaScript is also used for server-side programming, using platforms like Node.js. It has a wide variety of frameworks and libraries, such as React, Angular, Vue.js, and jQuery, which make it easier to develop complex web applications.

JavaScript has become one of the most popular programming languages in the world, with a large and active community that contributes to its development and supports other developers.
