Javascript was created by a Canadian developer named Brendan Eich in 1995 as a scripting language for webpages. In fact, JavaScript is one of the key technologies that brought about the modern web as we know it today. The first version of JavaScript was released in 1996 and the current version is ECMAScript 6 (ES2015). This programming language has become so popular that most modern browsers support it by default and include built-in developer tools to make it easier to write and debug code. Javascript code is run by an interpreter (also known as a “JavaScript VM”), which executes the program instructions one at a time just like a compiler would. It is also possible to compile JavaScript into native machine code to speed up program execution. Despite its popularity, there are significant concerns regarding JavaScript’s safety and performance that prevent it from being used effectively in enterprise-grade applications where reliability, security, and scalability are paramount concerns. Businesses are willing to pay big bucks for these services because they provide enterprise grade software; they are written using Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE) standards and offer fixed-price service level agreements (SLAs).JavaScript runs on many different platforms: in web browsers (as part of web pages), on servers (as part of web applications), in desktop applications (as part of Windows applications), mobile applications (as part of Android or iPhone applications), or as standalone programs (as part of Adobe AIR).javascript provides the necessary tools for developers to create web pages that are both interactive
