JavaScript
JavaScript is a programming language commonly used for creating interactive web pages and web applications. It was first introduced in 1995 by Netscape and has since become one of the most popular programming languages in use today.
JavaScript can be used on both the client-side and server-side of web development. On the client-side, JavaScript is primarily used for creating interactive web pages, adding dynamic behavior to HTML and CSS, and handling user input. On the server-side, JavaScript can be used with platforms such as Node.js to build scalable, high-performance web applications.
JavaScript is a dynamically-typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime rather than during compilation. It also supports functional programming paradigms, allowing for the creation of more complex and powerful code.
Some popular frameworks and libraries built on top of JavaScript include React, Angular, Vue.js, and jQuery. There are also a wide range of tools available for testing, debugging, and optimizing JavaScript code.
