7. Summary and References


Summary:

      • JavaScript is a programming language that brings interactivity to our sites and custom behaviors. It is lightweight and commonly used as a part of web pages that allow client-side scripts to link and build dynamic web pages. It is an interpreted computer programming language with capabilities that are object-oriented. 
      • “LiveScript” was the initial name of JavaScript when it was first developed. The name was changed to JavaScript to enable its developer to position this new "unused language" as the "younger brother" of Java, when at that time it was the more popular language of the two. 
      • The script could be included in or referenced by an HTML document in the code to be translated by the browser. It implies that a web page requires not an inactive HTML, but it can incorporate client-interacting programs, control the browser, and make the content of the HTML powerful. 
      • You can implement JavaScript using its statements that are placed on the web page inside the HTML tags <script>...</script>
