JavaScript

JavaScript is a programming language used to make web pages interactive. It runs on your computer and doesn't require constant downloads from your website. It was developed by Netscape to enable Web authors to design interactive sites. JavaScript can interact with HTML source code, enabling Web authors to create dynamic content. JavaScript is endorsed by a number of software companies and is an open language that anyone can use without purchasing a license. One common JavaScript library is jQuery. jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript.
