Welcome back.
Today, we're going to talk about JavaScript origins, so JavaScript was established and created in
1995 by Netscape, one of the most famous browsers at that time.
Now, they wanted to use JavaScript for everyday actions like logging.
We do registration, add to card functionalities, play and pause, something like that toggling in
much more.
So in short, they were creating JavaScript or they invent JavaScript to do all sorts of action that
we take on our Web page.
But the limits to the JavaScript are not only to the pages and Web sites, so it can be used in games,
virtual realities.
So imagine you can create JavaScript function and that will control a robot, for example, how to move
their arms, how to move their legs.
So yeah, that is super awesome and cool.
So imagine you can do all of that with JavaScript.
Now, obviously, back then, in 1995, they were also all their browsers.
So at that time they doing their own versions of JavaScript so they can compete with the Netscape.
So the Netscape was the most popular, one of the most popular, and the other ones just tried to invent
something, tried to implement their own versions of JavaScript so they can compete.
And there was the problem.
Every browser had its own implementation and understanding what JavaScript is and how it works behind
scenes.
Now, this triggered something, a creation of standard, and the standard is known as ECMAScript.
So because of the standard, now that things are easier for us now, with the help of these standardization,
every browser can implement the same JavaScript, their different versions of ECMAScript.
And this should not scare you because we will go through most of them and we will start from the beginning.
But the versions of JavaScript should tell you only one thing that JavaScript is on evolutionary path
and it's evolving every day and is getting better.
So today we are using ESX features and you will see the six features later on in the courts.
Now, to be a full stack developer, you need to know front and back and in a front end development
there is HTML, says JavaScript react angular, Bugis in much more and also.
In the back end, they have also different programming languages, so one of the most popular is no
jazz, but there are also others like Express Next, meet your jazz and in others.
Right.
And that is why we need to have a knowledge of JavaScript.
So ready for the JavaScript and get our hands dirty.
Well, if you if the answer is yes, then I will see you in the next one when we will start doing the
basics of JavaScript.
